That’s right. 530 bottles. For now. There are at least 100 more coming in the next 3 weeks. Some people say that makes us the store with the largest selection of beer in the Bay Area. I would tend to agree with them.
Mix-A-Six is a whole new beast now, with nearly 100 domestic 12 oz. micros to choose from (in addition to 430 other bottles. We have 530 in stock, by the way). Mix any six beers and save 10%.

FYI: HEALTHY SPIRITS WILL BE OPEN UNTIL 2 AM THIS HALLOWEEN.

WET…STICKY…PUNGENT…HOPS!

Today, I recieved not one, but TWO fresh hop ales!

1. Port Brewing High Tide Wet Hop IPA
2. Sierra Nevada Harvest Ale

The Harvest 08 is one of the best hoppy beers is the best yet in the Harvest series. Its light piney hop character and surprisingly malty backbone form a serendipitous balance. I think my bottle lasted about 5 minutes.

OTHER NEW ARRIVALS:

1. Lost Abbey Avant Garde Ale
2. Port Brewing Wipe Out IPA
3. Port Brewing Santa’s Little Helper (at brewer’s request, not for sale until October 15. No need to reserve, I’ve got loads;)
