Thanks for the suggestions to my simple question. I knew I'd get a good
response.
Three Floyd's Alpha and Victory Hop Devil were my first thoughts, but both
were brought in by All Saints which evidently went out of business. What a
few weeks ago would have a been a simple matter of running to one of several
stores is now impossible.
My sister lives in LA(within 40 miles of Stone in San Marcos-I recommend
showing up on Saturday mornings for the growler fill and tasting). I've got
a bottle of Ruination IPA instead of the Arrogant Bastard, and Old Guardian
Barleywine. I'll send both if I can, or just the IPA. Not sure if I have
room in my bag to bring back the AB--probably just drink it at her house.:)
I bought a Bell's try again and will try Goose Island IPA, the Rogue Brutal
Bitter, and St. Croix before deciding what to send.
Thanks to Rick and Cris for the detailed packaging directions.
Thanks,
Cal
