Where to buy good bottled beer?

: The only other thing I can advise you do it learn to make you own.
Another fun way to go is the 16 oz cans of Guinness, Murphy's, and
one other brew whose name escapes me (it is a British pale ale with a nice
flavor). These have a very draft-like effect, and light can't get to
them.

Some Costco stores have good bottled beer. I have been buying Trumer, brewed in Berkeley, in bottles, at the airport Costco. See <https://www.beeradvocate.com/beer/profile/11017/12679/>. But it's only available at a limited number of Costco stores, and I don't get up near the San Francisco airport much now due to the pandemic.

Dear Will, Do yu think that the guy posting from the
wat(buggered by google)***@pioneer.arc.nasa.gov has found a good
source of bottled beer in the intervening twenty-four years?

I hope so.

I have only a vague recollection of John Watson. I, however, have
distinct recollections of the late(died about 20 years ago) Will
Borgeson being quite eloquent with an entetainig wit. I say this without
finding the necesity of qualifying it with:"for a scientist."

Beat me to it. Will, also a poster to alt.food.wine, died in 2002:

I check here occasionally to see if anything has been posted at all,
much less something of relevance and interest, so I am pleased to
see this recollection. Will was my favorite poster here during the
first years of my participation: in addition to Ciccio's accolades
I would add that he was always even-tempered, convincing, andd I dare
say right in his recommendations. Sorely missed.

And of course anyone meeting such descriptions would have to be
a scientist. :)

Why, of course, as Tim May was a scientist after all.

Irony aside, coincidentally I briefly thought of Will several months ago
when a friend told me Negri's in Occidental was still going. One of the
first posts I had with Will 30ish years ago, was about how Negri's had
gone down hill compared to it 30ish years before then.

Will died about 18 years ago himself. So maybe they're talking to
themselves in the Usenet afterlife.
