My local shop was not allocated any cases due to the fact that they didn't sell enough Budweiser. Makes sense though, they are a "craft" beer shop and not your average liquor store. However, when I went to my local Ralph's to pick up some groceries, they had probably 10 cases out, limit 2, $9.99 ea. So I grabbed 2 just because.
On a better note, now that Russian River has their Windsor location open, we're seeing Blind Pig, STS Pils, and Happy Hops a lot more frequently.

its lost its roll, but people still hunt BCBS. one store here got 69 total cases, with variants. i didnt really chase it this year. one store held a vanilla for me. snagged a vanilla and bramble at a total wine. unexpectedly snagged a third vanilla at a bar. skipped on the rest of them. shared/cracked a midnight orange at a bar.
I broke something today, and I realized I should break something once a week.. - Warhol

How’s the midnight orange? It’s the only variant where I’m at in Iowa (was still two cases of it when I went to the store at 8pm last night lol). Grabbbed one bottle but thinking of getting a second today if I hear any decent reviews?halftonegraphics wrote: its lost its roll, but people still hunt BCBS...,shared/cracked a midnight orange at a bar.
Was really hoping to find the bramble berry / wheat wine but they didn’t even get those here
Tried the Midnight Orange last night. I have nothing positive/good to say about it. Yuck!pvecchi wrote:How’s the midnight orange?

There's plenty of Wheat Wine here if you're wanting some help.

midnight was alright. nothing great. tastes just like those chocolate oranges. we want to cuvee it with a vanilla, but we dont want to potentially waste a vanilla.

Over the holiday I grabbed a 6 pack of both Sapporo and Sam Adams Winter Lager (the liquor store I went to didn't really have anything that jumped out at me). I've had them both before and I was in the mood for the Winter Lager. However, I did go to another liquor store and got some of the Sam Adams White Christmas. I tried this for the first time either last year or in 2016 and out of the 3 I picked up, it was definitely my favorite!
I also picked up a few of these. I thought they were kinda cool. They're 25.4 fluid ounces of Miller High Life and the bottle is shaped like a champagne bottle. Pretty cheap too. Only about $3 per bottle.

I usually put Sam Adams one notch ahead of Blue Moon, but if you say their White Christmas is good, I'll give it a shot.Irishman12 wrote:Over the holiday I grabbed a 6 pack of both Sapporo and Sam Adams Winter Lager (the liquor store I went to didn't really have anything that jumped out at me).

Enjoy. Sam Adams is my favorite beer label as they consistently have great and varying flavors and aren't afraid to experiment. Plus, do yourself the favor if you don't have one already and get yourself the perfect pint glass. It does make a difference!HisBobness wrote:I usually put Sam Adams one notch ahead of Blue Moon, but if you say their White Christmas is good, I'll give it a shot.Irishman12 wrote:Over the holiday I grabbed a 6 pack of both Sapporo and Sam Adams Winter Lager (the liquor store I went to didn't really have anything that jumped out at me).

Grimm finally bottling one of my very beers from them. Remember this pretty much tasting like an raspberry icicle (in a good way)

I went by the liquor store on the way home today and made another 6 pack: the Budweiser Copper Lager with Jim Beam (I've had it before but wanted another), Not You Father's Fruit Punch, Not Your Father's Moutain Ale Citrus Brew, Harpoon Winter Warmer (they got me on the Cinnamon & Nutmeg ingredients), Harpoon Dunkin' Coffee Porter (which I'm expecting to be terrible but curious enough to try it) and one which I've never heard before, Aecht Schlenkerla Rauchbier Urbock
It's pouring rain and under 60, which means it's officially winter so I'm drinking a Log Cabin with coffee. A friend said the coffee was falling off already, but I still taste it. Tastes much better than I remember it on tap. It's still a bit sweeter than I'd like though.
