Pliny the Elder & Blind Pig IPA on Bay Area store shelves

[Rob DeNunzio]

Howdy locals,

According to various sources - not to mention Vinny himself - now's the time to start scouring your local finer beer merchants for bottles of Pliny and Blind Pig, guaranteeing you more than just a little jealousy from our non-Bay Area brethren. If you find some in your travels, post back here for the rest of us so we don't waste too much of that $5/gal gas in our hunts...

[Shawn, the Beer Philosopher]

Just confirming that the jealousy has indeed begun ...

[Virgil G]

I agree, so I'm gonna stop at the liquor store on the drive home and pick up as many different varieties of Dogfish Head that I can find!!! That oughta learn those californians not to hoard their beer!

[Virgil G]

I showed them... I picked up bottles of Dogfish Head Red and White; Black and blue; Jiahu; and a bottle of Raison d'extra

HA, take that california!!!

(i'm willing to trade...)

[Chipper Dave]

Yes! He mentions shipments out to Denver in August. The long wait is nearly over.

[BAYAREA_IPADRINKER]

i'll be watching out for pliny the elder

[Homebrew_Rob]

Hy Virgil, buy all the DogHead you want cuz I can get it at the Fairfield BevMo anyways!!! nyahh-nyahh !!

[Virgil G]

you BASTARD!!!

It's not fair WAAAAAAHHHHH

[Rob DeNunzio]

Don't worry, Virg, you've still got the upperish hand. Last time I checked, even in the pastoral idyll that is Fairfield, CA, you can only get the same three offerings as the rest of CA. Maybe we could strike a deal with the distributors to return all the cases of Palo we have sitting around gathering dust in stores for some other options...

That is true Rob. However I will take 3 Dogfish selections plus Pliny/Blind Pig etc.... versus more Dogfish selections and NO Pliny/Blind Pig. Know what I mean? Now , if I only I could find Aventinus on tap somewhere around here!

[Rob DeNunzio]

Aventinus is on tap at Toronado... (Not really "around here" in terms of Fairfield, I guess...)

Thats close enough Rob, thanks. Also, I am just playing around Virgil. I wish we could have local access to ALL the great beers out there.
