yes it ends this week...available only for two weeks starting the first Friday in February...rain or shine. I went last Friday. Got there at 9:30am...end of the line was on the corner at the intersection. Got in at 2:30. Door guy said they have been running out the day's allocation around 6:30-7:00 so people in line later...likely they missed out. That would SUCK! I felt lucky only five hours (it's could be 8+ easily) since I couldnt get there earlier and had to get back home for the evening.

elder and younger are so balanced and flavorful...really makes other beer pretty mediocre. is it the best? is a Vanilla the best handmade? won't go there. Can only say that if you love beer it would be hard to not be blown away by elder or younger.

BTW clearly no one told the homeless guy offering to stand in line that having an open baggie and firing up on the sidewalk is frowned upon.

on premise allocation is three 10oz glasses. no growlers bottles or take out. reality is at 10.5% any more than three will leave you blasted. its' soooo smooth and flavorful the killer buzz sets in mid-glass #2. plus if you dont eat, you will be eff'd up pretty quickly.

elder is bottled of course but still not easy to get even around here. the shops that get it sell out that day or the next. I bought a case while there so I could drink carefree and at my leisure. $5.25/bottle. since no preservatives, it's like milk, need to drink it in 1-2 weeks.

If you haven't yet...def try the redbreast so you can A/B vs the bushmills

snow? what's snow?
since no rain (not good) every day is a riding day.

I shoulda figured you were on the case given our conversation some time back. Its great to enjoy a horizontal...

Me, I like the redbreast cask better than the midleton rare in the wood box..

Dr. Bill Lumsden is stopping by my booze "LBS" Thursday. Nothing like talking to the head of Ardbeg and Glemnorangie in person

Due to the California drought I have given up water for Brochelle Zinfandel. It was a difficult decision but I know I will get my reward in heaven.

I WAS drinking cask strength Aberlour single malt ... until my sister's boyfriend (who was dog sitting) drank half of it and then filled it back up with water to hide it. What an a$$hat. Not bad scotch, in case anyone is thinking of trying it.

Last night we went out for the twins' 12th birthdays -- nice local restaurant that also happens to be kid friendly. The kids had sprite. Wife and I had a bottle of Sea Smoke Southing from 2007 (from my vinotemp, not their wine list). Lovely.
