528 Shell Station released Blushing Monk today.

528 HEB also has FBM, and it's cheaper by a couple bucks I'm told.

---

Specs had Blushing Monk for like $17...which is was a bit cheaper. Pretty damn good.

Goose Island Proprietor's Bourbon County (B, K it lists it as a can, but know it is a bottle)

General feelings on this one is that it is for festivals. I highly doubt we will ever see bottles around.

Or is it one of the many labels that A-B put i works to slow down the approval process for craft breweries?

Just go to Sheffield's and raid the cellar collection. All will be right with the world if you do.

This place is awesome.

Fine!!!!



The Mo Bretta Bretta was from 2012 and was awesome. I wanted the Red Poppy, but they had sold out.

Also had Three Floyds Shred the Gnar. Really good DIPA.

Is that $38 for a regular old Rasputin?

And 30 something for an old stock?

But they are vintage!! Probably two years old. Much rar.

I think it was like....Really old...or something.

Maybe served to you by a harem of virgin midgets. I'm not entirely clear on that part.

is there a cellar fridge there with beers not listed there? I seem to remember another "level" of beers above why i see on that list.

Also, be sure to hit Kumas on the way back to your hotel.

Yeah I checked the fridge. It was pretty close to what's on the list with some minor differences.

Foiled!! Out of Dragon's Milk.

The search continues tomorrow.

It will be in Dallas soon enough. Unfortunately not to Austin. It is outstanding though. I seek it out every time I'm up north.

So wheat wines seem to becoming more and more popular.

How much was Apple Brandy Noir for y'all that were able to get some? I was just wondering since Bomb is $7.99 where I saw it.

$11.99

Wow..... That be steep

paid $11.99 as well

Many of the beers list the vintage if they are old.. rasputin doesn't..

since none of us wrote the menu or saw the bottle....i guess there is no way to know amirite?

I know that sierra ovila quad is only about $3 or $4 by my house, and $8 there, the breuery bombers are only about $23, and $30 up there, and avery pumpKYn in $13 here and $20 there.
So no doubt this place (or that region) is high.

But I was in Bay area a year or two back and saw a NB la folie for only $13, and it's almost $20 in denver.

Restaurant bottle prices are always higher than retail. You are basically paying the restaurant markup on typical retail prices. Then they also price things on rarity, age, etc.

The New Belgium thing is still a head scratcher. They claim that there is something wrong with the SKU's, but it seems unlikely that they would be incorrect for 3+ years. I've ordered La Folie and Le Terrior the past several years online. They run about $12-15 a bottle with shipping and I get a bottle shipper out of the deal.

Yeah, I picked up a retail Tart of Darkness for $23ish yesterday, so a lot of that definitely is simply restaurant markup.

Also grabbed an Absinthe Barrel Aged Klutzy Buffoon with Cherries Saison from Spiteful Brewing. Not exactly sure how that's going to work out.

that sounds terrible.

Hell yes Jetch!! What did you get put in the crowler?

Yeah I actually didn't see the absinthe part initially. I had been in there awhile and just saw "barrel aged saison."

Ahh, I thought this place was a store. I would have never raised the question had I known this was a restaurant; of course they mark up alcohol.

that was just from FB but i want one!

Ah... cool.

Picked up 2 blushing monks.

Hopefully they are worth the price.

How much were they?

Nice. I've heard good things about it. I hope the price is reasonable.
