I'd like to get a couple of bottles of the following commercial examples that are not available in Minnesota. can anyone help? I'm looking for 1 or 2 12oz, or 1 22 oz bottle... PM me, please, I can either send commercial, homebrew, or some combination of that and a form of payment... thanks...

maybe I should mention that I can get Bell's Two Hearted Ale as trade bait... or, if you're interested in BeerAdvocate's top rated IPA, a growler of the Masala Mama IPA could also be on the table...

I have seen the DFH 90 but it goes for $6 for a 12oz in my neighborhood

Holy ripoff, Batman! I've seen them here (even near Boston) for approx. $9/4-pk. That is a bold retailer that will charge that much.

And 'danno', if someone takes you up on the offer of a growler of MM - be sure to vice grip the effin' cap and tape it shut tight. Nothing worse than a half-empty, flat growler of (reportedly) great beer arriving in a dripping box

Text book case of alcohol abuse...

Cheers!

I know its a ripoff I was in Boston last summer and brought home two sixers on the plane I think I paid around $1.49 per bottle.
The DFH 120 goes for $8.99 for a 12oz

pliney the elder is not bottled, i wouldn't even know where you could get a growler sence the new brew pub has not opened yet..or so i've heard.

The Russian River Brewpub is, in fact, open. They opened a few to several months ago, now. Awesome beers. I would get you a growler, Danno, but Santa Rosa is about a 2 1/2 hour drive from here. But I can probably get you all the Stone stuff you need. Let me know.

I'm not sure. I haven't actually been there. But I think it is also a pizza place, too. Looks like a road trip to Santa Rosa is in order! Damn!

hopjack13 · #10 02-17-2005, 01:48 PM

i just checked the website and the menu had pizza on it , among other things. a road trip? damn! someday i'll be able to do things again....

Is this still true? And if so is there any plans to bottle it eventually? Whats the reason not to? I called the local mid atlantic wholesaler and they only do things like the Damnation Temptation and such in bottles. They said Russian River only sells the Pliney stuff by the keg. This is easily one of my favorite beers. Im getting tired of driving down to RFD every time I want one...
