Any craft beer fans in the bay area frequent Drakes ? Reason I ask is Hopocalypse is due out in Feb (3rd or 4th) with a special release at the brewery only of the "Black Label" Triple IPA.. I'm trying to nab two bombers and hoping a fellow Monster hooligan and hop-head can help me out. NAturally will GLADLY Pay for their cost+ shipping.. Thx Mucho  |

Don't like beer myself, but there are just a few people here who do. I'm sure someone will do your deed for you.  |

I can nab you some goodies and send them down your way. Let me know and if you haven't tried their Denogginizer you owe it to yourself to try that too. |

THANKS !!!!!
Denog is on my list of fav's but i'd say Hopocalypse is better.. I wish it were year round and not seasonal.
The Hopocalypse Black Label Triple IPA is unobtanium down here... naturally.
I'll pm ya my info
If there's anything youre looking for down this way do not hesitate to ask !!

If you are in to the Double and Imperial IPA style of beer, may I also recommend you check out some of my other NorCal favorites: - Russian River Brewing Company - Pliny the Elder Double IPA
- Russian River Brewing Company - Pliny the Younger Triple IPA (very limited draft only seasonal availability in February)
- Lagunitas - Hop Stoopid Double IPA
- Lagunitas - IPA Maximus
- Highwater Brewing Company - Retribütion Imperial IPA
- Highwater Brewing Company - Hop Riot IPA
Cheers! |

Nice List !
Def a fan of PTE and let's not forget ...Blind Pig.
When Younger gets released down here it's an absolute mad-house!! (massive lines at select locations).
Also diggin' Kern River Brewing's "Just Outstanding and Citra..

Went to Drake's this past weekend and had an imperial stout that had been aged in oak barrels that were previously used to make port.....it is a good thing Drake's is right next to a Wal-Mart because I made a mess in my drawers and had to go get a new pair! |

I have not had their Drakonic Stout yet... Have one in the fridge though  Always nice when a brewer puts a lil spin on their beers every so often |

You should see it up here; I live right by the brewery. Saying that people go nuts for the Younger is an understatement. Personally, I'd rather not wait for two hours to get a pint. Great stuff though. |

Just got back from the Double IPA festival in Hayward *hiccup* and was fortunate enough to try some Hopocalypse Black Label before they ran out...good stuff, but I would have to say my favorite of the beers I tried was Moylans Hop Craic (pronounced Crack) XXXXIPA, 10.4% ABV and 150 IBUs....mmmmmmmm! Even better than Pliny the Younger IMHO. |

Nice to see some beer fans in here. Anyone ever go to the Friday at Drakes event? I've yet to go but looks fun.
