How's my haul? What did I miss? Using google pics because I already put it all in the fridge and I don't want to take it out, but I can assure you I'm being truthful.

1) Brother Thelonius




2) Dogfish 60 Min IPA



3) Some Dogfish 61, just to try



4) Palm



5&6) Fireman's 4 and 4^2



7)DFH Birra Etrusca Bronze



8) DFH Festina Peche



9) Westmalle 12



10) Paulaner Oktoberfest



11) St. Bernardus ABT 12



12) Six Point Righteous Ale



13) Kwak



14) Ommegang Three Philosophers Quad



15) Maui Coconut Porter



Plus some 4 Roses Single Barrel, some kind of alcoholic ginger beer, a few hot sauces, and some really good olive oil and balsamic. I think I did ok.

While a pretty diverse haul, 3-4 of those are available in BR...

I was being conservative, knowing that Maui, Sixpoint and DFH were not..

Concur. I was surprised how bad the Palm was. Nearly tetu-ed it, and I NEVER pour beer out.

Not bad. I like that righteous ale. Next trip try to score some Firestone Walker, Great Divide and Jester King.

I love the 4 Squared, great beer. Took a tour of the Real Ale brewery a few weeks back, free tour and beer tasting.

Very diverse haul. I agree with the Firestone Walker. You have no idea the beer boner I got when I had Union Jack on tap in my hotel lobby in Vegas. I drank so much FW last weekend... I want it back

Westmalle 12


Not being a dick....but it is a Westmalle Dubbel....no such thing as a Westmalle 12. It is one of my favorite trappists.....that and Orval.

And yea, Firestone Walker Double Jack, Wookey Jack and Union Jack shouldve been on your list as well as Deep Ellum IPA, Lakewood Hop Trapp and Lakewood Temptress......next time.

Will have to try the Firestone Walker next time, thanks.

I know a few of them are available in LA but I just couldn't help myself while we were there.

Me too. Barely had any free time. Hit up Specs and Total Wine in 30 minutes total.

I hit Total Wine as well. While not the beer snob that most of y'all are, I picked up a few things not found here in LA.

I'm not going to ask what y'all think because I don't give a shite. Y'all ain't gonna drink this.






The latest Norma Jeane Merlot


A sixer of Trumer Pils




A sixer of Czechvar (Budweiser Budvar)

A case of Fragolino
