I don't know how it's still on shelves. I figured it'd be a small run batch, people would try it, and then it would go away.

I know they bottled it about 3 weeks ago but other then that I haven't heard anything. I haven't seen any of it around here yet either. Did the guy say how much it was? I thought it was supposed to be around 20$ this year for a 12oz bottle.
Ouch that is pretty high. I may still track down one bottle.

If you are getting into brewing, checkout Michael Jackson (not the pop-star).

Man there was a bottle of Sucaba just down the street from me, but I didn't feel like going out and thought I would pick it up today on the way home from work. Of course it sold out before then. Might go on a hunt this weekend.
I'm hoping to find a bottle of Barrel Aged Bigfoot as well, then I can do a little barleywine tasting, just picked up a Three Floyds Behemoth last week.

There are five cases of Sucaba sitting at my neighborhood Whole Foods in Seattle. Apparently other states get shorted on FW stuff.

Has anyone gotten their hands on this?

I had a bottle a couple years ago. Really nice.

Seems it's only distributed in NC and SC. Yikes. That's not gonna be an easy one to find.

Picked up a Saison Dupont and St Bernadus Abt 12 at my local homebrew store today along with some being supplies. Excited for both but given it's summer here and I've been getting into sour and funky beers I'm going to try the saison soon.

Heading down to San Diego this weekend to hit up a few breweries. Green Flash, Alesmith, Lost Abbey, and (obviously) Stone are on the list. May hit up a few others if time allows.
Go to Societe. Even if you have to eliminate another brewery on that list.

They were good when I stopped there during SDBW... have they gotten better?
I'm having slight rage over here. I have visitors this weekend and it means I'm missing out on multiple beer events because there's no way I can take them or leave them at home without me hearing about it till they die. *shakes fist*
I'll probably just bust open some Clown Shoes since we just got that in the area. Haven't tried it before... should be fun.
Red Poppy showed up at Stearn's in Long Beach today, $17. That means it might have also made it to Number One in Redondo Beach (same manager).
I just bought the worst beer I've ever had since Keystone, but I paid $4.50 for a pint of it...
...Stay far far away from this.
haha, I only drink that if I'm at an Indian restaurant.

Picked up some random stuff to try from Total Wine (my new favorite store).

I don't like Rogue, but that Juniper Pale Ale is legit.
I thought the hazelnut brown nectar was delicious.
I'm skipping the rogue tonight in favor of the gulden draak. It's fantastic. I always get the feeling that I'll be disappointed when I spend $20+ on a four pack (or any beer really) but the draak is worth it.
17, ouch. I have a friend who lives in Long Beach swinging by, but $17 for 12 oz is a tough ask.
The Draak is awesome. All Belgian Strong Ales are awesome, Piraat, Duvel, etc. I am very far from a lightweight, but a 6 pack of any of those will leave me babbling.
If you have any, try some chocolate with the Gulden Draak.
edit: Currently drinking a Cigar City Humidor Series Double American Black Ale. 1.) They need to make the title of that beer longer, not enough words. 2.) Don't really care for it. Very spicy and woody, like a Stone 12-12-12. I admire the craft, don't love the taste.
That Blueberry Oatmeal Stout looks delicious. Let me know if it's any good.
I'll have to seek out Duvel now. Pretty sure I've seen it around. If it tastes anything like Piraat or Draak I'm sure I won't be let down.
btw no chocolate

Let's see if you hate the Rogue Voodoo Doughnut as much as everyone else.
Not sure, but I just happened to see it today at my local store here in maryland (I'm originally from orange county). It was behind the counter and upwards of $20+ so I'm not sure if I
l'll be trying it anytime soon. My limit on 750s is usually about $12.

Pretty damn good! My favorite thing to do is try a new beer, and after a couple sips go read some reviews to see what others think. I don't normally like the darker beers, but I'm a noob expanding my horizons a little
7.5% ABV makes me a happy camper!

Tried a Lagunitas' Wilco Foxtrot Tango tonight. It was rather good. Sort of reminded me of Brown Shugga, without the "shugga." Simultaneously hoppy and malty. Different, but good.
Has anyone gotten their hands on this?
...My absolute favorite style of beer too, I need this
Had it on tap 2 or 3 weeks ago. Pretty fuckin good. I prefer Big Bad Baptist more.

If you spot a Kwak around the traps, give it a go. It's not exactly the same as a Draak or Duvel (I'd probably add Gouden Carolus and Delerium Tremens to the list as easily recommended) and has an orangey-medicinal taste, but the first time I drank it I fell in love.
They would not sell me a glass when I was at their tap room since I am not a member of their society. I asked how do I become a member and they said memberships are sold out. So, literally they would not take my money in exchange for beer. Kind of annoying.

It is year round at the brewery. They moved it from the funky beer taps over to the main beer taps after they discontinued Belgo (which saddens me greatly).

That is probably the article you are talking about. Yes, La Folie is fantastic, though I have not seen any bottles near me just a few taps.
I think it is the SitR Peach that was Reserve Society only, I could be wrong though,
But yeah, there is a bunch of Reserve Society stuff, memberships tend to go on sale at the end of the year for upwards of $300+. I joined the Preservation Society, which gives me 3 beers a quarter (one spirit barrel aged, one wine barrel aged sour, one experimental) with only a quarterly commitment.
Don't know how long I'll keep it up though, haven't been too impressed with The Bruery. Kind of eager to try some of their highly regarded beers like Black Tuesday though.
