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! :tu

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

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 :D

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.

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.

Re: beer hauls
 
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.

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.

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.

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. :tf

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.

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.

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.

Yea those huge bottles. $90 here to. I didn't buy one, they told me you cannot reseal them in any way.

Bought a bottle of Stone Vertical Epic today and Samuel Smiths Oatmeal stout.

No but I an infinitely jealous. It's a Stone Bastard Brew, I'm sure it is nothing short of liquid glory. Please let me know how it is compared to say the regular arrogant bastard/double bastard.

Going to stock up today. I'll have to look for that Stone Lucky Bastard. I am not much of a fan of the AB or OAB (not sure why).

Had this exact same haul yesterday. Only had the Lukcy on tap so far, but from that tasting, for me, it's:
Lukcy > Double >>>>> AB (haven't had oaked AB yet because it's too $$$ for me. I draw a line somewhere before that).

Bill86 12-04-2010 05:36 PM

Had this year's DB on tap right after it. From what I can remember (it was a few weeks ago), the Lukcy was noticeably more hopped. It may have been the extra hops in the Lukcy, but the DB was a lot hotter tasting then I remember as the extra alcohol showed up WAY too much in this year's. I'm thinking the extra hops in the lukcy must've thrown off my palate.
