    Might as well make it 17 hours and be done with it rather than be stuck in the morning commute. Windsor is only an hour farther in normal traffic.

    They have a keg of 2010 Temptation as well. Am tempted, but the $10 price tag for 6 ounces is a bit of an impediment. Not sure I want a glass that badly.

    These days, the only time you can get to Windsor from Fremont in roughly an hour is at 300 am. Bay area traffic is pretty much a nightmare all the time. There's always a back up at the bay bridge interchange, and most times 101 is backed up as well after the San Rafael/Hoffman bridge. A trip to Silicon valley always makes me feel grateful for the traffic messes we sometimes have in pdx.

    Isn't Fremont in the South Bay area, about 2 hours south of Windsor?

    My mistake. I stayed at Fairfield. It avoids the hills and the commute is about the same going the longer route near Vallejo rather than the shorter route cutting off at Williams.

    For historical context, I had a very nice hassle-free pour of PTY at Lombard House last year. No line, no fuss. Great owner/bartender that curates an excellent taplist in comfortable space. Hoping to get lucky again this year.

    I had a pour at Interurban today. $9 for an 8oz pour (I believe; it may have been 10oz). According to their Instagram they don't think they'll run out tonight, so they may have some left tomorrow.

    I can verify this - $6/8oz (or I think a glass is 8oz). I can also verify it is delicious, a touch boozy based on my vague annual memory.

    Impressive. Didn't think they would get a keg this year.

    Should have read your post before fighting rush hour traffic to drive on over to Belmont Station.

    Bring your WAGs and turn your 6oz pour into a 12oz pour?

    The pond and 3 significant mountain ranges that separate us from HRM means we refer to them as spouses, significant others or even better halves ;-)

    Anyone see this anywhere else around town besides Apex? I know Horse Brass and Belmont Station must have got some, but I probably missed the low-key regulars word of mouth release the way it's typically been handled in the past.

    Sounds like John's Marketplace had it yesterday at least?

    Belmont and Upper Lip tapped it yesterday, but looks to be gone from both places. Interurban tapped it on Sunday, and looking at UT people were still checking it in as of last night. They don't post a current tap list. Keep an eye open for it at Horse Brass, BeerMongers, and Bridgetown. Just a few places that I believe haven't tapped it yet.

    In the past Roscoe's usually has gotten a keg. Also, I would expect NWIPA to tap a keg at their annual TIPA event on 2/29 (they did last year).

    If you're on the westside, ABV has it on right now.
