Total wine has it


You have two Azagthothfriendly locations now
Total Wine & More - Roseville, CA

I finally got to try a Bootleggers brew.
Their Belgian Golden Ale.

Not bad but also not life changing. I have one of their Pale Ales chilling in the fridge and will probably drink it tonight.

I had their Pale Ale last night. Solid, but unspectacular.

I had a few of theirs (whichever the first few were that they bottled), one of them being the Belgian Golden Ale. I believe the other two were a hefeweizen and a rye IPA. All 3 bottles were infected and tasted like crap.

Their Black Phoenix was ****ing stellar, though!

skunked? or was there mold growing in there?


Note to Homebrewers: This is why sanitation is so important!

Anyone know of any stores on the westside (West LA, Culver City, Santa Monica) with a good beer selection?

I know there's a BevMo on SM Blvd, and the Wine Rack off of Pico at the 405... there has to be others...

An infection that made them sour and drainworthy.

Sounds like a lactobacillus infection.


The only beer that we both had from them was the Belgian golden and mine wasn't sour like that, so yeah you got the infected bottles.

Black Phoenix is effing A-Mazing! I have a bottle in the fridge right now.

Their Knuckle Sandwich is a REALLY good Double IPA too.
