Firestone Walker deal at Bevmo
13.99 for mixed 12 pack that includes Union Jack, DBA, Pale 31, and Solace. Not bad. Found in East Bay.
Local Safeway goes Hop Stoopid
Wow....now there's a reason to go to my local Safeway!
Lagunitas IPA at Costco!
....and cheap. Outstanding.
Sierra Nevada 30th Anniversary. First impression.
Aroma is to stout style with a semi sweet chocolate hit. Taste is chocolate with bittering hops. A bit metallic on the mid pallet. Lingering bitter finish.
I like it. Typical SN bitterness. Lay some down and they will be awesome with time.
Sierra Nevada Torpedo for 24 bucks....
...at Cosco. Not bad!
cheers and here's to the end of a long week....
whenever your weekend starts, I hope you can lift a glass and relax (Stone IPA in my case).
staring into the eyes of the abyss
What a great beer. Big, rich, and complex.
20 bucks a case for craft beer!
Just got back from Costco where they had both Deschutes Black Porter and Gordon Biersch Mix (Czeq Pils, Bock, Winter Bock, and Marzen) cases for 20 bucks. That's a price that is unheard of these days. Make you wonder if Costco bought out old stock but I guess I'll find out tonight.
Happy Holidays!
Triple Rock's hop soup
Fantastic beer. Can't wait to get another. From their description: Hop Soup - (9.0% a.b.v) By Head Brewers Rodger Davis’s accounts, this is the hoppiest beer he has ever brewed. A medley of the biggest Pacific Northwest hops are packed in with a distinct emphasis on additions for aroma. Backed by a sturdy malt base, it runs wild with hop flavor. As we head into the holiday season, we will be inroducing a new, strong ale every other week as part of our ‘Feats of Strength’ holiday series, all leading up to the celebration of Festivus on December 23rd, and the release of the 2009 Festivus “MiracALE” |

A test post really for what I hope to use on a reular basis to supplement our main blog.
