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

well it's been a while since I've had a proper haul, hopped in the car after work and got to it, tis the season:

Guinnes FES 4-pak
Port Santa's Little Helper
Rogue Santa's Private Reserve
N'ice Chouffe
Sierra Nevada 30th Anniversary Black Barelywine (finally put on shelves!)
Fantome de Noel

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)

icehog3 · 11-23-2010, 02:34 AM

Looks like a sweet smorgasbord haul, Albert!

Bill86 · 11-23-2010, 02:34 PM

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

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.

romwarrior · 11-29-2010, 12:24 PM

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.

xlc12rf · 11-29-2010, 01:18 PM

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.

Bill86 · 11-29-2010, 06:58 PM

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.

kydsid · 11-29-2010, 07:53 PM

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.

Bill86 · 11-29-2010, 08:05 PM

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

Nice score!

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.

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.

That is just outrageous. I couldn't live there O_O

b0rderman · 11-30-2010, 09:29 AM

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.

potlimit · 12-01-2010, 10:20 AM

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!
