well, '02 is very rare. even Sam at the Stuffed Sandwich had been in the hunt for it. kinda like a holy grail, at least it was to him.

I thought this beer was pretty damn good. I liked the malty flavor.
 
I had "Levud's" Batch 1 from The Bruery last night. The Bruery is a new brewery located in Placentia and I was pretty goddamn impressed with this one ! 11% abv belgian strong pale ale and just delicious ! As good as it was, give this another year or two to age and it will be unbelievable.

It's good to know there is a new brewery close by that is actually worthy :) The bottle cost me $16 and is very limited so get it while you can !

After trying other Dogfish beers I have to say I was expecting too much with this one. A very very good beer. But so far the Palo Santo is the best Dogfish beer I have tried
 
Stone just released their 12th Anniversary - a Bitter Chocolate Oatmeal Stout. Release date - July 7. Not sure if it is in stores yet. They are serving it at their anniversary event in August.

I picked up a case yesterday.
 
I just went to my local Bevmo and they don't have any in yet.

Better keep checking on a daily basis because I think its pretty limited..... the BevMo here only got 5 cases, and are now down to 4 thanks to me :)
 
I picked up a growler of IPA from Rock Bottom Brewery last weekend in SD. VEry nice. Plenty of hops and long finish.

I also picked up a sixer of the Firestone IPA from Bevmo. My first time trying it. I liked it but it doesn't quite have enough bite for me. A little smooth for an IPA IMO IYKWIM TTFN. :30smile:
 
Fed Ex should be here today with the following:

Russian River Beatification x 3 375 ml
Russian River Redemption x 3 750 ml
Russian River Supplication x 3 375 ml

Cost me just under 200 bucks all said and done, ouch ! But it is well worth it and very hard to come by until the distribution improves down here. Thank you stimulus check !

Over the weekend the Achel Trappist Extra was a fine treat ! One of my new favorite trappist beers and damn near close to the greatness of Chimay Grande Reserve. I also had the St. Bernardus Prior 8 which is pretty good for a dubbel (not my favorite style).

It almost would have been cheaper to drive up and visit Russian River. manybeers:

The Russian River Supplication is one of my favorites. It ages very well, so you may want to put some away.
 
Russian River brewing co. makes a fantastic beer. Last time I was bellied up to the bar at Stone Brewery, I went ahead and diverged a little from the draft list and ordered up 750mol of Russian River Damnation. Excellent brew! I'd love to get my hands on some Supplication.
 
I actually ended up with 6 of the Beatifications. My order came in today :)

How are the Beatifications? I goofed when I ordered and accidentally put 2 of those in the quantity section. I wish it would have been the Supplication instead, but oh well - both are fine beers !

So what I got was

3 Supplications
3 Redemptions
6 Beatifications
 
The Russian River Supplication is one of my favorites. It ages very well, so you may want to put some away.

I shoved those 3 far in the back of my fridge. I'll drink one within a few weeks (I do believe that most beers should be tried both fresh and aged) and let the other 2 sit for about a year.

I've also got the Beatifications in the back next to them, as a friend told me they age nicely too. I'll also be drinking one of those soon, and determining if I want to use a couple of the extras as trading chips.

Apparently the Redemption is on the lighter side, so I'll probably move through those pretty quick unless I am advised not to by somebody that is familiar with the beer.

Finally, I've also got a Temptation that's in the back which I am going to open up when my good buddy gets back in town from Ohio.

The Damnation is really good, and pretty easy to find out here in stores.

Its nothing though compared to some of the other ones I've had:

Pliny the Younger
Temptation
Russian River IPA
