    Hey Portland, anyone know where I might be able to pick up some RR Consecration or Temptation? Called a couple places - so far no luck. Are they available around this time of year?

    Apex, prepare to pay the markup.

    Check whole foods and zupans locations. They often have stuff longer than the bottle shops.

    It's not really a bottle shop. Sure, they sell stuff to go, but the prices are geared towards the dine in crowd, and as far as bars are concerned their prices are pretty good. Another thought to consider is that they would probably be sold out like most places in town if they only charged $12.

    Yeah, understandable. $15.5 was the to-go price. $19 in house - roughly 50% markup from retail, which I suppose is the norm in many places.

    There's a Consecration on the shelf at Pastaworks on Hawthorne. $12.50 or something.

    The West Linn MofC has a shelf of the Consecration, priced at $12.49. The way things tend to move there, it'll all still be there a couple of months from now (so no need to rush on over). My impression is that they sell a fair amount of craft beer there, but "esoteric" stuff like consecration seems to stick around for a long time. They had a bunch of supplication and santification there as well today. (even a lonely last bottle of pelican imperial IPA, that I haven't seen any place else).

    The Imperial Pelican Ale is the same as the old regular IPA. They rebranded it to coincide with a price increase and the release of their English style 'single' IPA. But, you know it's fairly fresh at least since that only happened a few months ago!

    My secret beer store: Bi-Mart on Halsey and 122nd. The manager is a beer Geek. Always some Supplication there for cheapest I've seen. The guy must be a Scottish Ale fan - always has Traquair, Skull Splitter, etc...

    Really? The Imperial Pelican of late is an 8%er. The mainline Pelican IPA was not that high. Did they tweak the recipe?

    I believe the Pelican IPA was always 8%, and priced slightly higher than their competition, which caused confusion. It is now "appropriately" named, but the exact same beer, according to their reps.
