    If you drive 2 hours south to San Diego I can part with one of my 8 bottles. You can repay me by buying me a pint at Alesmith or something... =)

    that's very kind of you Reaper

    actually Burbank is doing nonstop flights to San Diego now, so maybe i'll just fly down there to pick up the bottle.

    My usual spots are running up empty for bottles here in SD actually. No doubt there are still plenty around though...or if you fly down I will meet you at EAH and we can have pints of FfaC, Bomb!, and Xocoveza.

    You just missed it at the Stone Company Store Pasadena. They had a keg on tap last weekend. Luckily I was in Pasadena on Sunday, which is rare for me. So I was able to stop in for a pour and took home a growler fill.

    Sunday was the first time I tried it. Thought it was quite good. I would definitely be interested in finding more.

    Like others mentioned, yeah, Stone Pasadena had it on tap this weekend. Was good, but admittedly I much preferred the nearly month-old bottle I opened late last week. Felt like the sharpness of the cinnamon and nutmeg were more subdued, while they still came through as part of the full flavor.

    You can find one in my fridge :wink: If you're ever in Redlands, send me a BM, I'll give you one bottle. It's my favorite Stone beer and I'll be happy to share. I got almost two cases left, so I'm sure the offer will stand for a little bit :slight_smile: Cheers and good luck hunting more!

    Pretty sure I saw it at Stearn's liquor in Long Beach. I'd call first, but almost positive they had plenty.

    Call first and ask for Joey, he's the beer guy. Sometimes they don't restock the beer shelves if he's not there.
