That stopper will keep carbonation for a couple of days.


It's good but I'm disappointed in it for $16.

Can't imagine being disappointed in a $650 beer.

Can't find any good golly around my normal Austin spots. I don't think the HEBs up north have a shipment yet.

FYI: Rtic is having a sale on their coolers. Just ordered a tan 45Q for $130, and the 65Q were only a couple bucks more


I picked up a 45 and a 65. The stickers I've acquired over time are starting to be applied.

It was good. I have one more 2015 that I'm going to let go for another year to see how much more it will dry out.

Of all the things it's ok to spend money on, my wife would flip out if I were to spend $150 on an ice chest. Otherwise I'd have been all over that 65.

You should check out their scratch and dent stuff at the warehouse. This coolers are selling for big time discounts.

Even discounted they're too much in her eyes. I can't complain too much. She doesn't complain about my obsession with buying new fishing rods or the several hundred dollars worth of Scotch I keep in my desk at work. She also making a trip to Santa Rosa because she "could go for a fresh Pliny." There's just something about an ice chest that costs more than $50...

That's fair.

It's cool she likes good beer. My wife doesn't. On one hand I don't mind because then I would have to share. But it would be nice for those times I want to go to JK or some other brewery not in BCS.

Imagine sharing all of your good beer with someone whether you want to or not...

I spent full price for my yeti years ago and don't regret it one bit, I use the **** out of it.

Yeah. That's the big reason I'm not working really hard on trying to win her over on beer.

Stared it this for while today before finally buying it for $24.99. So good.

My beer guy offered me a bottle of Cantillon Fou Foune but at $199 I passed - mistake or not?

Not a mistake at all. He's a dick. You can buy it on MyBeerCollectibles for less than $125 normally.

I am flying in to San Diego on Monday afternoon and will be staying in Carlsbad and working both there and San Marcos for the week. Planning on hitting up Toronado on Monday and Port/Lost Abbey on Thursday after work.

Does anyone have any bottle shop recs for up that way? I've never had Pliny (crazy, right?) and want to make sure I get some. Any other tap room or bar recommendations are appreciated.

Texas Wine and Spirits in Carlsbad has a pretty solid beer selection. I have a pretty solid beer/bouton/mezcal selection as well, so check in with me and I'll see if I can hook you up.

Toronado will be your best shot at Pliny. They have it most of the time. Down near there is Bottlecraft, which has good selection. Bine & Vine isn't too far either.

You're in the Austin area right? Where is this? Is it Fridaze?
Jason_Ag98

He's normally not too far out of line, and to be fair it was one of the new guys rather than the owner I usually deal with so it could have been a mistake. Maybe it was supposed to be $119 instead. I'll ask the owner about it next time I see him.

Thanks for the feedback, and glad I made the right call!

That sounds about right considering their normal beer markup. Didn't know they were a place reselling beer that isn't distributed here.

Seems incredibly illegal... TABC would be all over that if they found out.

You're probably right - I edited just in case. Don't want to get the guy in trouble.

I've been trying to trade for a Fou for a while now but I wouldn't have thought twice about passing. Not for 2 bills.
