The OC/LA release thread.

Beachwood Melrose is on tap today and in bottles as well. Seems like they just had a release of Melrose

 

I picked up bottles when I was there on Sat.

 

Weird. The official release was today...unless if those were from the previous batch

 

That was a previous batch

 

The new Modem Tones Mega Black House Stout is available at Mr. K's ... $8 / no bottle limits. Love me some Modem Tones Black House ANYTHING!

 

I'm realizing that 500ml bottles are totally easily and surely my favorite size bottle for any ABV, any style, not too much for a big beer, not too little for a sessionable beer, if the beer is a drainpour I'm wasting 250ml less than a 750. So I'm stoked that HPB has only released 500ml bottles so far, and that there's nice stuff coming from Smog City and other breweries in 500s.

12oz and 375ml bottles just don't cut it for me, bombers are sometimes too much, and 750s are often too much unless at a bottle share.

 

500mL bottles are where it is at. I completely agree with every part of this statement. they really are just about perfect

 

Since installing new tanks several months ago, our production has gone up. More beer for everyone! This has allowed us to produce many of our favorite beers more frequently and at increased volumes. The Melrose that went up for sale today was bottled yesterday, 06-01-15 (date stamped on the bottle). Please c'mon down to the pub and grab a "bomber" or two... Cheers and thank you all for the continued support!

 

Hopefully some is around this weekend when I am planning on stopping by after we take the dog to the dog beach.

 

System of a Stout releases Saturday too.

 

can you guys send some over here in Newport beach ? that would be awesome!

 

I'm definitely going by on Sunday for some lunch and System of a Stout!

 

Cool little teaser on Insta regarding Beachwood's 4 Year Anniversary celebration ... July 11 starting at 10:30am. 40+ Beachwood beers, debut of Hopernicus DIPA, pickle bar, etc. Looking forward to it!

 

That beachwood teaser has me excited and also can't wait for System of a stout

 

Bottle Logic teaser on Insta & FB ... Fundamental Observation - Imperial Vanilla Stout aged in 4 different bourbon barrels: Buffalo Trace, Heaven Hill, Four Roses & Bernheim ... Release Date June 30 ... No price or limits yet. This brew was outstanding @ Copperversary!

 

Given how amazing it was at the Bruery party... I don't even care.

 

craziest part about the price is... you DON'T have to buy it.

 

Anyone have anymore info on that new Bottle Logic post on IG

NOTE: I just got back from ChiTown last night. Found and picked up a bottle of Against the Grain's "Citra Ass Down" along with several Chicago bottles/cans from Revolution, Half Acre & Pipeworks (all premier Chicago brewery's). And no bottles of Zombie Dust could be found in the 2 days there. Very hard to get unless you go to the source. The Citra Ass Down was 10.99 at Fishman's Liquor. Almost all of Against the Grain bottles are very pricey. Nothing less for $10. Average around $14. I'll be opening CAD today.

 

While in Chicago I've been seeing bottles of Left Hand Milk Stout on Nitro showing up in our SoCal local shops. Can anybody here verify that?
