Great beer thread.

[rivrrts429]

How about I just show up with a case of my own choices and whatever isn't drank, you keep??

Gonna need way more than a case for me to win.

If I remember right... You're not far from me. I'm out in the boonies near Menifee.

Gonna have to get together and put this plan to the test lol.

For sure. A few members live out here. I think an unofficial RDP craft beer festival would be grand!!

I remember it all. It was after getting into the cab that I don't remember lol

Hands down... best beer I've ever had. How they get a triple to drink so smooth is beyond me.

Today is recovery day in downtown Santa Rosa. Woke up slow as hell lol

Just over a thousand miles from home, to Russian River for the Younger, and back home.

I'm wiped out but that was an awesome experience. Now I get to enjoy the fruits of my labor...

I'm familiar with it but haven't been. I'm from SoCal but will be on a micro-brew vacation of sorts this summer. I plan to stop in and check it out. If they're still there I'll be sure to say hi [emoji106]

This batch is really good. If you want really fresh run out and get yourself an early release of the Enjoy By.



A little Valentines selection for the wifey. She loves Consecration (Sour). I'll mix in a few Pliny's I have left as well this weekend.

This was a Moose Drool at the "Rhino" in Missoula MT

Nice! Guy in line was just talking about that spot. I am at The Crow Bar in Corona Del Mar. Love this spot because it is pretty low key for a PTY tasting.

I could easily go for a nice Younger right now. Have fun.

I will drink one for you. They do a guaranteed two 10oz pours for $21.60. They have a half barrel. So good, but nothing beats the first year I had it.

That's not bad $$. When I went up to the brewery a lot of people were talking up years past batches too.

The brewery had a max of three 10oz glasses for about the same cost per each.

My buddy had it at Stone last week. No line ever materialized so he had as many as he wanted. Wife had to pick him up lol

Enjoy it. Got another year before we can have it again. [emoji106]

 

[Ryphraph]

They had Pliny the Younger at Claremont, Eureka Burger last Tuesday via first 60 people to buy tix and Thursday last minute. I was to busy to get over there

Are you trading for them? I didn't see where you took a cheer trip to the East Coast [emoji3]

My buddy traded a 2 Black Tuesday's for a large shipment from the east coast and I happened to be at his house yesterday when it arrived and became the lucky recipient of some impossible to find world class IPA's

That's a good buddy to have [emoji106]

A friend of a friend wants me to trade Pliny's for Heady, he lives in Vermont. I'm going to have to take him up on the offer. I need to cross it off the beer bucket list.

Congrats. I think you just topped this thread with best and rarest rated beer lol

Do it!! If you are around this weekend, I am going to crack them open and would be willing to share with another IPA addict.................. :drink

 

[HALLETT BOY]

Where can you get Pliny near Thousand Oaks , Ca ?

 

[rivrrts429]

Total Wine and More and Whole Foods are the only places in Thousand Oaks that carry Russian River.

Doesn't mean they will have Pliny. I'd stop buy those spots and ask what day they get their shipment.

That's a really cool offer, I appreciate it.

It's my buddy's birthday, he's the other IPA nut, so the wives were going to drop us off at the Salted Pig in Riverside for a few hours of draft craft brew drinking.

I'll let you know [emoji106]

 

[DogNamedChevy]

Can't wait to try these out..

 

[DURAMAXYFZ]

Just Outstanding is one of my favorites!!

 

[Racey]

This has been my go to lately, i go out of my way to find canned beer. It just tastes better than bottles if you aren't pouring them imo.

That ballast point sculpin is great also, it comes in cans as well :thumbup:

 

[Ryphraph]

This is another good one in a can. Just started getting distributed in SoCal recently...

Dale's is really popular.

I tried it.... but never again. Just not my thing.

They've got a pretty big loyal following though. [emoji106]

Had 2 of the Modern Times Booming Rollers tonight and I highly recommend you guys try it!
