Saw This at a Fairway market

Tasty brew but be careful when drinking it. At 9.4% abv, it can knock you for a loop if drunk in large (as in two or more) quantities. They serve it at the Scullers Jazz Club. I usually stop at one.

Looks like the brewery also issued two CDs containing Monk covers.

Just curious: where's this Fairway Market? The brewery's been around since the late 80s (I was spending a lot of time in that area, back then), and this beer since 2006. It's readily available in northern California, but I was just curious how far their distribution has spread.

Cool. Good for them (North Coast). How long did it take Coors to get East of the Mississippi?

Haven't had the pleasure, but another of their offerings is one of the best beers I've ever had:

If you ever get to Fort Bragg (near Mendocino, a more likely destination), the brewery and restaurant / pub are worth a visit. It's usually cold and foggy, which make the fireplace wonderful. I'm told that the food is good.
