My bottle is still cellared.  Definitely saving it now.  By the time I drink it, I expect it to be in the Top 25.

I got a bottle from Peter as a gift when I visited them. I can't get it here. Distribution was so limited, only a few stores in Northern California sold it.

Wait until you taste what Peter can do with Belgian Sour ales. It will completely change your mind about that style.  He's so careful about yeasts, temperatures, and working with ingredients to find the perfect balance, it's downright amazing.

It's been a damn good week...

We've got two beer dinners coming up, one of them might maybe have a lost case of this beer.
Also got our label finalized yesterday for our first full-batch release in March - fun fun.

If anyone's in Sacramento at the end of the month, I'm even giving a lecture on beer at the Historical Society. Calm down, I know - but I heard there was Pole Dancing and Line Cleaning demos... oh, wait, line dancing and pole cleaning... yeah, crap...

And even here in NorCal, I managed to get one bottle and that's it, went back to the store the next weekend to pick up a couple to send to people and they'd been out for a few days. It went super fast, hoping I can manage to have it again sometime, will have to look into these mysterious dinners.
