Fred Meyer in Lynnwood has cases of regular sitting out on the floor. Super Deli and Beer Junction had tons of regular and variants the last time I was there.
Serious? The one that's basically almost Mill Creek (Fred Meyer)?

The one near Alderwood Mall. Apparently they have more in the back, too.
They made a TON of this beer this year.
Ah, that's a bit closer. Might have to head up at halftime.
Don't see a single bottle here let alone cases.
I'm pretty sure you are talking about the one on 164th in almost mill creek, guy at Lynwood store calls that the Alderwood one so on my way there
Edit edit: Score! Grabbed about 15, they may have more in the back but I cleared the floor stock.
I'm ChugChugPass on Untappd for anyone who wants to add me, I just joined so my profile is empty.
Nice! If you ever have extras and want to work out deals to ship I would love to team up! Specifically for the weekday beers...cash or beers in return.
Also anyone planning to go to Huna day?

First rule of beer is never be that guy. ;-)
lol, I didn't ask if they had any in the back at least!
How many are you going to cellar?
All of them went into the cellar.
Good man, now when I pm you for a trade in a couple of years for one remember me man lol

I still remember one year when Abyss came out the guy in front of me in the beer aisle bought every bottle Whole Foods had. His girlfriend could clearly tell that I had wanted one. The guy did everything he could to not look at me as he quickly ran to the checkout.

I've got a bottle and heard about it. I should open mine soon.
I have had it twice. I wouldn't say it tasted infected to me either time, but it certainly tastes off. Fruity is how I would describe it.
Dang, "infected"? Is that a specific thing or just generally mean a bad batch?
I do try not to do it myself; the girl at Total Wine by Alderwood said she'd let me buy a couple cases despite their 2 bottle limit but I decided against it. Figured Lynn'd residents won't miss it lol.

Sounds like a bad batch. Some coffee bottles seem fine, others seem infected.
I tend to only buy two bottles of anything. One for now, one for later. Too much good stuff to buy more than that.

I've been really liking Fieldwork's IPAs and stouts when I find them on tap so I finally drove to the brewery today (turns out it's really convenient for me). Damn these guys are killing it. The amarillo weisse was great and I'm currently drinking this tart saison dry-hopped with mandarina hops. It tastes like Orangina.
also sounds like they had to dump a good portion of the coffee this year due to bad batches/infection/whatever.
the coffee they used this year is supposedly a bit fruity but a lot of the reports are tart cherry and overall undrinkable bottles

Eesh. Hope my bottle is ok.
GI doing a voluntary recall/refund? Deschutes offered that with Abyss back in 2009.

Fieldwork is awesome. Had their Citraweisse, Shoreline IPA, and Salted Watermelon Gose, all fantastic. So is Cellarmaker. Bay area doing some really great stuff and I'm glad I can get their stuff locally down in Socal.

Really, really good. But not $20 good. I thought the regular was better.
On a different note, my wife and I are going to be in Las Vegas in a couple of weeks. Any particular bars to hit or beers I should hunt for? Also going to be at Grand Canyon for a day, so suggestions for there as well.
Interesting; I couldn't find the regular but I wanted to get both.
I love the Southern Charred from Stone.
edit: Yeah neither my wife or I are blown away by this by any means. It's not as complex as advertised IMO.
They are looking into it and are supposedly going to have a response sometime this week about it.
If yours doesn't taste right, definitely contact the brewery

They'll probably give you a case of Bud Light to make up for the bad bottle.

I saw $45 cases of Budweiser in a fancy wooden box at Safeway the other day. Made me laugh.

Not beer but - very particular about my ciders, and happened to try this yesterday. Pretty much my favorite cider.
There are some really cool things being done with cider lately. Reverand Nat's out of Portland is one of my favorites. They're experimenting with lots of wild yeasts and fantastic hop varieties, just like beer.

Looks like Xocoveza Charred is coming in Wed. In for a bottle I guess. Hope it's good.
Gonna have to try that.

I'll be visiting Denver in March. I'll put it on my list!
Still some available at the $300 for 8 bottles price. I've been staring at it for about a hour trying to justify that price + travel/hotel but just cant bring myself to pull the trigger
Isn't this directly against a traditional Spanish cider?
bumbillbee
Member
Huh? Do you mean the hop part? I guess that's new but using wild yeast is as Spanish as cider gets.
Yeah the hops. Seems like that's just flavoured beer.
I got two...need to see about changing a name...hope they will let me.
