Fry’s Bottle Drop

Don’t know if this is even really beer (“Beer Brandy”), but picked it up many years ago in Prague. Haven’t ever opened it because I doubt it’s very good, honestly. Interesting, though.

Came for Eggs left with these.

Some interesting bottles at the north Scottsdale Rd TW

Bone Haus Brewing in Fountain Hills is sneakily making maybe the best IPAs in Arizona.

Happy New Year's

Completely missed all the Fry's drops, but pretty happy with this little group from AJ's. CN-F pick and some of the last ET BiB out there (from what I've seen).

Lake Pleasant (weather was not pleasant) Fry's Drop

Any stores in the area have a Russell Reserve store pick?

Fry’s San Tan allocation

Willettized never disappoints

A true ghost whale. New Glarus R&D Sour Fruit (aka "Very Sour Blackberry"/"VSB"). Other NG fruit beer in 1st Anniversary glass for dramatic effect.

Walser & Kosmicki's Highly Acclaimed Kentucky Breakfast Bourbon Aged Stout

BA Fremont beers weren't available her in AZ until recently, so most of these I picked up in CA. Need to finally crack some of them... fear they may have fallen off a bit due to the adjuncts.

Another flashback. A "bottle share" with three friends and myself. These are all bottles I owned and cracked to share on August 24th, 2013.

Back when I had a pretty impressive New Glarus lineup. Had multiples of some of these and still have some of these bottles. 1st and 20th anniversary glasses include.

Neshaminy Creek “Mecha Dry”.

Sharing a beer with the owner of my local pub.

My brother’s landlord told him, “don’t drink the bottles in the basement” when he moved in. Didn’t know what he was talking about then found these. lol.

2018 Bourbon Country Brand Stout (15.2%): Aged in Heaven Hill, Wild Turkey and Buffalo Trace barrels.

Just bought a bottle of 2024 KBS and came across this old photo from the first time I had it while traveling for work (before it was distributed in AZ).

Oh yeah, throw your neighborhood in the air…

People seemed to enjoy my last "throwback" photo. Here's everything I had in my "cellar" about this time 11 years ago. Far too much, to be honest...
