The Big Russian River TION Night! At O'Briens in San Diego

Friday January 30th is the Russian River TION Night.
The Big Russian River TION Night! We will have 19 different Russian River beers on tap for Friday the 30th and brewer Vinnie Cilurzo will be there to share a few of his beers with us. It is going to be a crazy night - think St. Patrick’s Day-like crowds. I would suggest not even trying to pull into the parking lot after 3 pm. Look for street parking on Convoy, Opportunity, Dagget or Ruffner on the block right around the pub. There will also be no darts on Friday due to the large crowd. We will have everyone working so just please be patient and remember that we are all there for the good beer.
So here is the plan for tapping the beers. We have 11 TION beers and 8 pub beers. I am tapping the 8 pub beers first at 4 pm and this includes Aud Blonde, Dead Leaf Green, Happy Hops, Porter, IPA, Blind Pig, Pliny the Elder and yes, Pliny the Younger. We will be serving 5, 10 and 16 ounces glasses of all of those beers, except the Younger, which will serve in 5 or 10 ounce only due to the limited amount. If you are worried about not getting any Younger, don’t fret. I already have more lined up for 5 pm on Saturday, February 7th. That will be a full size keg and we won’t have the TION crowd there that night. So if it is just Younger you crave, you may be better off just waiting a week until the 7th. We will also have 750 ml bottles of Consecration on Saturday the 7th.
At 5 pm we will have all 11 TION beers on tap - some will likely be on tap before 5 pm, but all will be on tap no later than 5 pm. In our TION line-up we will have Redemption, Perdition, Salvation, Damnation, Batch 23 Damnation, Rejection, Temptation, Supplication, Sanctification, Beatification and Consecration. I have typed up a sheet with descriptions of all of the TION beers so that you will know what they are. All of them will be available in 5 ounce samples and most will be available in Chimay goblets as well. The sour barrel aged beers will be avaible in 5 ounce or 8 ounce glasses only. We will also have some bottles of Beatification (different batch than our draft), vintage Temptation and Supplication and 3 liter bottles of Damnation and Beatification - but those will be very limited. Look for several types of Russian River beer cheese for Friday night along with some other beer themed specials (Lindsey never tells me everything).
