Sometimes Costco comes through, a six pack of each for $21. Not bad compared to local prices.

Just got back from Asheville NC where I made a couple pickups of mostly local brews and a few others that don't distribute to GA as well as some I just couldn't pass up (i.e. *****es Brew)

Looks like a sweet smorgasbord haul, Albert! :-)
[Reply]

The *****es brew is so awesome but it sold out MAD quick here. I only got to get one bottle.
[Reply]

It was the same here but this haul came from my trip to Asheville this weekend and one of the stores I visited still had this lonely bottle on the shelf so I adopted it :-)
[Reply]

What the hell?
Where did you get B itches Brew?
[Reply]

Appalachian Vinters in Asheville, NC...looked like the last bottle but they may have had more. A second release also was sent to distributors on Nov. 15th so you should see it again on shelves any day now.
[Reply]

D'oh! Go figure. I'm fittin to get my travel on and won't be back until December 14th. It'll probably all be gone then.
Oh well... I just checked and there is not a retailer 'round here anywhoo.
[Reply]

Yeah and the new Brew Masters show is not going to make it any easier to find even the second release of Bi***es Brew. It was pretty darn good, though, I must say. And I'm not the biggest DFH fan.
[Reply]

I'm a big Sam fan. A few of their beers are home runs for me: 90min, old school, immort, but Sam is such a character, himself, and perfect for a show like this.

Dogfish head Punkin ale 4 pack from 09. Just picked these up I'd post pictures but.....some are empty the others aren't looked to survive the night either.

Well went home for Thanksgiving and did a little bootleggin on return:


Round 1 - The on sale and cheaper than home

Round 2 - The banned by TABC edition - I wish they had had more Double Bastard, probably buy a case of it at Christmas to last me a while.

Double bastard is EPIC, love the red & white too.

Nice score!
[Reply]

Good to hear about the Red & White. Went lookin for B1tches Brew, but was sold out of course.

Been drinking the Double for years, when I moved to Texas never knew until recently why I couldn't find it locally. Turns out TABC won't license that adult beverage because the word 'masturbatory' is on the label. :-)
[Reply]

Are you kidding me? Yeah same here the double is one of my few staples I always pick up. I like the Red & White and Black & Blue. Probably the Black & Blue more but the masses don't agree, meh.

Yeah B!tches brew was so freaking limited, I scored one bottle of it and that was all. It was good though.
[Reply]

Wish I was.. Evidently its one of many reasons why a lot of my favs aren't available here. How about having the word beer anywhere on a label, even the back on a 'beer' with more than 5% alcohol won't be licensed for individual sale.
[Reply]

That is just outrageous. I couldn't live there O_O :-)
[Reply]

nice haul...we've got a quite a few double bastard magnums floating around town now...all at about $90. Anyone else have a price to compare? I almost want one, but a case makes much more sense at that price.

My girlfriend was burning her paycheck up at Whole Foods the other day and thought to grab me some treats... remembering I love Belgians, I think she did a pretty decent job!
