Those look fancy. I didn't know they were brewing anything like that. I only ever see the IPA (and maybe a Pilsner?) from them up here.

So I got roped into some prospect dinner bullshit while I was in Orange County but I did manage to hit up Bruery about 40 min before they closed. They have way more beers there than I ever could have imagined. Enjoyed most, but Or Xata is still champion for me.

I had to ask for them. They are a limited release - if you have a decent shop, see if they have any. Some of the shops make it out to be something like a Rip Van Winkle.
Probably one of the best beers I've ever had, easily.

They're released only on the friday after thanksgiving, and don't often get rereleased (never by GI, sometimes by the individual liquor stores if they held them). There's normally a line to buy them, and they often sell out within a few hours.

Yeah, they always have a bunch of stuff on tap that doesn't get distributed. I don't like everything I try, but always at least appreciate what they're going for.
What else did you try?

Ok, I've had a few separate and distinct lighter coffee beers (First Call | Modist Brewing Co. and Calm Before The Storm | Ballast Point Brewing Company and Banshee Cutter | Insight Brewing)... is this a thing nationally or just locally (one from San Diego, two more from Minneapolis)? I'm not sad, as I love all of them. They're just baffling when you taste them and then look at them. See-through yellow beer with a hard coffee taste. I feel like they should be dark and obfuscatory, but there isn't any hard malt background in them.

Not sure if i've had Oude Tart yet.
coffee stout = Mocha Wednesday? I have a bottle from last year I have yet to open.
Hadn't heard a tea flavored beer by them.
They opened a second location for their wild/sours/etc down in Anaheim I think, would save you some driving time. Bruery Terreux | Tasting Room

Did you actually land all those off the shelf? And is the coffee/BW/Prop 2015 or 2016?

Forgot to place my preorder for Founders KBS this year. Only one local store gets it and they all get claimed before release. Meh.
Still have never tried it, been trying to get some for years. I even live in Michigan, but on the wrong side of the mitten for ideal Founders distribution density.
