. . . I saw the green, er- French flag drop and then I think I passed out right after that. I guess that was to be expected from trying to stay up all night to catch the begining of the race. But the time delay of the sound being broadcast by 24h-lemans.com is starting to irritate me. But then again I'm not to happy about the Fox sports 2 coverage as I'm watching that on the dishanywhere website and it isn't offered in a true full screen picture or "HD." Oh well I guess it is time to go make some food and maybe get some laps in on GT5 for a bit.

Lots of good suggestions in this post: http://oppositelock.jalopnik.com/le-mans-world-…
Also, I don't think you ever told me where the Brew Dogs were...

I'm using Fox Sports Go. Full HD and no lag.

I replied to you, they were filming at The Winchester Goose in Chico CA. I don't know if it was for one of the quick "if you are in town here, you should grab a beer here" segments or what they were doing there.
Also thanks for that thread, i'll be checking that out momentarily.

But they made it seem that FS Go is for tablet or phone only. I only have my computer.

Sorry, didn't get a notification. That'll be interesting, I like them.
No problemo.

I have Xfinity so I clicked on the logo and it brought me to the site. It didn't ask me to sign in, so maybe try clicking Xfinity even if you don't have it.

No worries, they are pretty entertaining blokes. Plus I actually do enjoy their beer when I can get my hands on it.

BevMo carries some of their brews, you can usually find Punk IPA and 2 a.m. Saint there, but your best bet would to be to talk to the proprietor of your local bottle shop to see if they can get it in. I highly suggest trying their Tokyo if you enjoy really strong high ABV stouts.

Your BevMos down there are about 3x better than ours up here in Washington. I assume Total Wine or the bottle shop down by work could get it in, if they really tried. Strong stouts are my favorite, so I might just take that suggestion.

You have to have a non chain bottle shop up there, or if you have a homebrew supply store you might want to give them a call and see if they know where a good bottle shop to pick up hard to find bottles of beer, or if you have a craft beer bar they should know the best spots to pick up hard to find "rare" beers and the best places local to you.

Yes, there is a non-chain bottle shop that is quite good. I just can't get there unless I drive to work (usually take the bus). I have a couple closer than work too, and I suppose it would be worth the drive if they could order some Brewdogs.

It is always worth giving them a call to see if they carry it or can at least order it for you. Be warned that the Tokyo is not cheap, the 8 ounce bottle they sell it in is going to be around $11-13. But good beer is worth a drive every so often. I've gotten spoiled by basically having my cheap beer be Sierra Nevada as it is only like $1 more than Bud and that ilk.
