Velvet Merkin

Randy and Palm Springs Liquor are awesome.

 

Got the last one in the shelf. Not sure if they had more in the back. Thanks so much for the heads up

 

Shhhhhhhhh...

[About the store, not the Merkin specifically ]

 

There goes the honey pot :O

 

You guys should go take down their huge billboard on the 94 then.

 

Mike's in Ramona got a case on Friday. He had some left as of yesterday about 3...

 

tons of bottles in the central coast area. make it a weekend trip with a stop at hollister up (and back) and barrel works.

 

Much of the craft beer target audience isn't seeing that billboard, but I was sort of joking. People have been talking about this "hidden gem" for years; it's hardly a secret.

 

I honestly never went until I saw the sign coming back from Cuyamaca a while back. Drove by it a once or twice going to Carnitas Urapan. And I've seen it mentioned on here. But never had the desire to go and look, from the outside it truly is a hidden gem.

 

Just stopped by, grabbed the last velvet merk. maybe they put one or two out every now and then?

 

There was a few at wf laguna niguel if anyone needs more

 

I dunno; I think sometimes publicizing the location of a gem often favors the hoarders more than it does the masses.

 

That damn WF has had little sneakies like this ever since they opened, it awesome! Now if only I still lived there.

 

A couple years ago Palm Springs and Windy City had some awesome hidden gems on their shelves. I bought 2-3 Consecration 750s (batch 002) from Windy City for $20-22 a bottle in late 2011/early 2012.

 

Tried Merkin for the first time this weekend and was really impressed. Found it at Keg n Bottle in Clairemont, but they only had one bottle. Any ideas where I can pick up another bottle or two tomorrow? Thanks.

 

Nevermind...just found some.

 

G'Day, do you think there's any chance I can get some Velvet Merkin in two weeks in San Diego??

I'm visiting from México and I'd love to bring one to share with my tasting group. If anyone is interested to do an IP trade for some mexican crafts let me know.

Cheers

 

I'd go to the firestone walker website and click on "firestone finder"…enter the ZIP code where you will be at and the specific beer you want and it will give you a list of nearby shops that carry firestone. Than you can just call around or stop by.
