Allagash/Cantillon/RR "Wild Friendship" Collab

[JCastle1]

Someone may have mentioned this already but...

Is this just Resurgam, Beat, and Classic Goozie blended?

No, Resurgam, Beat and Classic are blends of different vintages (of Coolship, Sonambic and Cantillon lambic). Wild Friendship only has the single components (all from 2010), no vintage blends.

I'd like to know the percentages. We made it ourselves with equal parts and it wasn't that great.

Finished gueuze != blending components.

Finished gueuze != blending components.

Obviously, but we were having some fun and I wanted to see how close we came percentage wise.

In late 2014 we recreated the Wild Friendship Blend here in America and are releasing it during 2 special events next month! The first Wild Friendship Celebration will take place at our pub on Thursday, May 7th. Due to space limitations, we will only be able to host 120 people during the 5 hour tasting. Our special VIP guests, Jean Van Roy from Cantillon and Jason Perkins and Rob Tod from Allagash, will be on hand to discuss their beers throughout the event. There will be a total of 12 beers including both Wild Friendship Blends (the Belgian version and the American version) and several from Cantillon, Allagash, and Russian River, naturally. Our chefs are excited to have a little creativity in the kitchen and will prepare some tasty food to pair with these amazing beers. Tickets are $100 and go on sale this Saturday ONLY April 25th between 9AM and 10:30AM. They must be purchased IN PERSON at our brewpub (unfortunately, we are not able to take reservations over the phone or via email). Each person will be able to buy up to 2 tickets. This event is ages 21 and up only. Photo ID will be required when purchasing tickets and again on the day of the Wild Friendship Celebration! The pub is located at 725 4th Street in Downtown Santa Rosa. I will announce on Facebook that morning if and when the tickets sell out!

The ticketed event will end promptly at 4PM. At that time, the pub will close for an hour so we can clean up the joint. The pub will open at 5PM to the public where 5 Cantillon beers and 4 Allagash beers will be available to drink until supplies run out! I’m not sure if there will be any Wild Friendship beer left, but if so, we will make that available for tasting as well. Since space is so limited for the ticketed event, we bought extra of each beer to enable us to spread the love a little farther! Kitchen will be open that evening for business as usual.

The following day we and the other brewers board a plane (albeit hungover) to the East Coast. Allagash is hosting their event on Saturday May 9th in Portland. I’m very excited to attend this event, as well, since I have never been to their brewery. I believe tickets are already sold out for the Maine event (pun intended), but perhaps we will see some of you there!

Probably has something to do with those weird Maine beer fest rules.
Depending on the license they have, we might be limited to 48oz total.

Was coming to post this menu. Pliny as a palate cleanser, funny.

I asked my mate, but he has not replied yet, is the Beat on tap or out of a bottle?

Don't think it's gonna be exaaactly the same cause it has "Russian River" and the date on the other side, but I'm guessing it'll be the same front

Yeah I'm mainly just hoping for a stemmed wine-style taster rather than the typical Allagash shape, but it'll be awesome regardless.

Its out of the bottle for us here

 

[leprakhan]

Unless that Beat morphs like a monster in the next couple months this batch is gonna be hella earthy. I think I left with all the enamel on my teef. Tasted more like a belgium than an AWA.

I really enjoyed the event, until my allergy medicine or allergies themselves got into a big fight with the sours and made me terribly sick. I think I vomited all my grub after the friendship blends, which I thought tasted terrific. Sucks I had to miss out on the last 3, but god damn Russian River pulled off a great event, my sickness aside.
