new belgium cocoa mole
founders better half (limit one bottle per person)

I was about to walk after buying the mole but turned around and asked the girl behind the counter if they were getting in a few different beer. She said we have better half it's just in the back. I guess it never hurts to ask. :tu

Just got a text from a friend... There's some 2008 Bells Third Coast Ale that just came in.. I may need to make a run.

I thought that "piggy" looked familiar. Back in the late 90', there was a brewery in Temecula, CA named "Blind Pig Brewery," and they produced a great little IPA for the period. Then I heard they folded and lost contact. Here's a bit from Wikipedia:

"Russian River Brewing Company was created in 1997 when Korbel Champagne Cellars of Guerneville, California decided to try their hand at brewing beer.[1] Brewer Vinnie Cilurzo was hired as brewmaster. Korbel quit the brewing business, and sold the brewery to Cilurzo and his wife Natalie in 2002. Vinnie's Blind Pig brewery changed names to Russian River, remodeled and expanded in 2004, eventually moving to Santa Rosa, at their current 4th Street location. Cilurzo is regarded as one of the most innovative microbrewers in the country[1] and credited with inventing the beer style Double India Pale Ale, known alternately as Imperial IPA, when he was the head brewer at Blind Pig Brewing Company in Temecula, California."
