hey gang - Headed to the mountains for a bachelor party this weekend. Got some time to kill before the group assembles. Thinking I’ll make a quick brewery run: Breakfast and a run at Little’s Wine in the AM Cerebral at noon Trve at 2 Then head over to Black Project Is this the best plan? Seems like an easy and quality cluster to set the pace for a quiet and measured weekend, especially since I’m coming in from sea level. Any other bottle shops I should head to for beer and whiskey for the weekend? Debating Grapevine instead of Littles. Thanks in advance for tips!
If you have time and want to try something really interesting, stop over at Dos Luces after Black Project. They're right next to each other. They make pulque and chiche. Maybe the only brewery in the US who does this? I think it's worth it for the experience, and their staff is great. I tried Novel Strand for the first time the other day, which could be on your way from TRVE to Black Project. I think they're making some really exceptional, dialed-in hoppy beers. Beare Brewing is right across the street from TRVE and they're super solid. There's a ton of great breweries and if you don't have much time and all you hit up is TRVE and Cerebral, you've done pretty good. Fiction Brewing is near Cerebral and I dig them a lot. Alternation is close to Black Project, and they do lots of weird interesting stuff. Have fun!
If you're over by Cerebral, Grapevine isn't far and the Bull & Bush might as well overlap with Grapevine. I'd do the B&B for breakfast. As far as Grapevine vs. Little's, you'll be happy with either. I'm a Grapevine diehard, but both are great shops.
