Vintage Release This Friday, Adds, and other things

'Tis the season for gift giving and buying something special (sometimes for yourself, of course!), so it's time to open up the doors on our Beer Cave and release some goodies into the Rare & Vintage Cabinet! Starting Friday morning you'll see vintage goodies from Stone (Imperial Russian Stout and Old Guardian *see below*), Brooklyn Monster, the last of our Rogue Old Crustacean 2008 and bottles from the Sierra Nevada 30th Anniversary Series! As with all our vintage releases, these are first come, first served.

And for a couple new adds:
+ Olde Burnside (Ten Penny) Father Christmas 1 liter swingtops (in the cooler on the top shelf, same door as the growlers)
+ Stella Artois 750mL cork & caged bottles
+ Heineken 5 Liter Mini-keg gift set with 2 glasses
+ Lake Placid Winter 6 pk
- Southern Tier Krampus 22oz
- Sam Adams Perfect Pint glasses are now back in-stock

And a couple updates:
- Dogfish Head Bitches Brew is scheduled to arrive in our store this Friday
- Still no exact ETA on Sam Adams/Weihenstephaner Infinium, sorry!
- Brooklyn Monster arrives soon!
- more sour beers Friday

** Stone Old Guardian and Imperial Russian Stout Update - As some of you might have already read/heard, Stone will not be brewing these beauties in 2011 as we now know them. They have started a program called "Odd Beers for Odd Years" and will brew Belgo-versions of these classic monsters in 2011. As these are my 2 favorite Stone beers, and I suspect some of you will agree, we have purchased all the remaining inventory from our supplier! If you'd like to read more about this, check out the BeerAdvocate.com thread here. **

And if you're looking to give the gift of beer this year, why not make it even more awesome with a nice specialty glass? Check out our overflowing selection of pint glasses and specialty glassware up front by the registers! We also have gift sets that come with a glass on the gift rack between the registers.

Hoppy Holidays! (...I know, a beer pun, right?)
Cheers,
Jeff
