Holy Mary mother of God! How are you even awake right now? Of yeah, the baby. Thoughts and prayers for your hangover.

What are those westbrooks over on the left?

Looks like Mexican Cake variants I think.

That is an insane lineup.

Can you get this at stores or just bars and restaurants?

How was the proprietors this year and how much?

What is stupid about a luxury good being priced at what the market will bear?

What's stupid to me is the increase in price over the last few years. $18 for 48 oz to $20 (or more for variants) for 33.8 oz.

---

it's really stupid to you that a company raises their price when a demand continues to increase???

I mean, would you not do the same thing?

Has demand for the regular increased? From what I've seen it sat around for a few weeks this year when it was gone in a day in years past.

I was also wondering if they produced more this year. That could explain it sitting on the shelves.

I think for Texas, the demand is still pretty high as we are a new market. But yes there are places where it does sit on shelves for a few weeks.

I'm sure production has increased. But with years and years of it flyin if the shelf, I'm sure it had something to do with the price increase. Plus it's accompanied with an entire new look, design and size.

It's sitting in TX.. Is it sitting anywhere else? Def. not in CO.

It's a bar only release, I don't think it was worth the price but I bought it in support of a local place that's trying to increase their craft beer selection.

Multiple stores here have multiple cases still left here.

While my **** wasn't quite as hard as Bmac's, I stumbled into some BCBS goodness last night in Chicago.

What did you think about this year's Prop?

Awesome for the style, but I'm not much on chilis in my stouts. Therefore, I like the coconut Prop of years past better. The Regal Rye was a fun beer and a great contrast to the Prop. We mixed them together a bit for fun.

Nice! No, not a lot of heat at all but I would have preferred coconut again. That said, I enjoyed it thoroughly and would gladly do so again.

Broke this out for the Army-Navy game.



Go Army! Beat Navy!

Is demand rising? I see it sitting on shelves. Something I haven't seen in the past 2 years. Don't get me wrong, you have to test the market, but I think they overshot it, at least on regular, by $2/bottle.

It could also be the same issues that Prairie is experiencing. Two years ago, when Bomb finally made it here in November, stores kept it in the back and you had to ask for it. Now, it sits for weeks.

I also hate the 500ml bottles, but mainly because it ****s up my storage system.

That's what I thought but also looked like you may have had it a home so was just checking. I was hoping it was good because I really like the Christmas ale.

Anybody had Project Pam? Thoughts? I'm about to open one here in a bit.

Also, unless we know production, it's possible they are sitting on shelves in some places, but they still had an increase in sales.

I should have saved the BBH for after the game. Was that Spav calling plays for Army on that stupid ass trick play?

Went over to Brash earlier. That may be the best brewery in Houston. ***** Liquor and Cortado are both outstanding.

Had Brash ***** Wagon today at Bearded Lady in Fort Worth.

Mean, *****y service, but overall a cool little place.

Really good DIPA.

Velvet Merkin tastes like a flat whiskey and coke and is very thin.

I won't be dropping $20 on this one next year.

They need to start making some stuff that isn't IPA or Imp Stout but their beers are solid top to bottom. Would be curious to try a barley wine of theirs, and I really look forward to Vulgar Display out of Bourbon barrels.

I like IPAs and Imperial Stouts. The fact that they focus on making great versions of both and not an accessible kolsch makes me like them more.

Brash Ez7 is a pretty accessible pale ale, and they're about to put out a peach version.

Add some Kuma's burgers in that mix and I'll call it a damn good night.

Where is mine?

Does anyone know of any good bottle shops in Huntington Beach?
