When: Saturday, October 24, 12:30PM (NOT NOON, gawd. go fkn eat brunch or something.)
Where: Top Hops Beer Shop, 94 Orchard St. (at Delancey).
How to get there: F/M/J/Z to Delancey-Essex St., B/D to Grand St.
What to do: "Just bring 2 or 3 cool bottles of beer that we can't all easily get in NYC and its surrounding areas. That's all there is to it. Oh and to have a good time and don't be a dick." GuisseppeFranco
The venue: Top Hops is a bottle shop and growler store. A BeerMenus of their growler fills and Belgian bottles is located here: http://www.beermenus.com/places/3846-top-hops-beer-shop. Please respect the venue, and buy some bottles or a growler fill. You can bring your own growlers. Also, whoever may be working that day aside from Ted will be working hard setting us up with tons of clean tasting glasses and taking our used ones while also pouring draft beer and running the cash register for bottles for other customers. Please bring cash to tip them yourself or to participate in a tip pool.
Food?: Top Hops does not serve food aside from snacks such as olives, jerky, meat/cheese plates and big sad little big pretzels served hot from the oven!! Please eat beforehand or plan to leave to eat. Space is at a premium, so please do not order food for delivery or bring large/conspicuous food. This includes quackus bringing his shitty dumplings. Additionally, please do not bring your own snacks that are sold in the store (cheese, jerky, pretzels, etc.).
Limit: There will be a limit enforced at 40 due to space concerns by Ted's request. Please do not sign up if you are not certain you are attending, and if you learn that you cannot attend, please delete the row from the spreadsheet so others may take your place. If you plan to bring friends or others, indicate that on the spreadsheet. If there are 40 signed up, please place your name on the alternates list.
Drunkenness and Bad Behavior: Please know your limits with regard to alcohol consumption and drink plenty of water alongside your beer. In the past, some people have gotten a bit too intoxicated due to overconsumption of high-ABV beer. Please avoid drinking to the point you are vomiting, knocking a ton of glasses on the floor because you can't stand, or getting kicked out of the bar for any other reason.

Sign up!: Here's the spreadsheet: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1oXOPlTnTyBnf6fFYp_1SIMu77-zEiB3UVM-pLnWB9Qo/edit#gid=0

Any questions, please ask in this thread, or via BM to franch.

Dammit, I'm having a tasting at my house already that day!
 
Sad I won't be able to make it. But I was able to send Franch a couple bottles of a new beer that I think many will find interesting. I've posted a description of the beer as well as the new line of beers below. I hope all of you are as excited about this as I.

"I present to you a new line of beers that are so out of this world, they come from another universe within our multiverse. Snafryzzxtyl (which is how the people of this particular verse say 'delicious') is a new line of multiverse lagers that, while ordinary in the verse from which they derive, push the boundaries of what we call beer in our verse. Only 8 bottles will be produced per batch. To acquire these bottles, only those that line up no less than 48 hours in advance will have the opportunity to buy them 3 months after release (subject to change)."

The first beer from Snafryzzxtyl is batch 48.5: Infectious Diseases in Cattle. It has another meaning, well, a lot of meanings actually, you'll see. This is an imperial milk stout aged in an oak barrel that previously contained blended scotch whiskey, mezcal, and ginger liqueur.

Other Snafryzzxtyl beers in the works include:

Batch 36.4: Pale Black IPA (tentatively titled Cultural Appropriation.)
Batch 44.2222: Jngoxication - A Braggot using dregs from HF Arthur, bottle conditioned in Arthur bottles. (note: this beer will be available to you, but although we agreed upon it, the bottle will sit in a corner until eventually it is given to someone else, even though it was promised to you. I believe this maneuver is referred to as being Mac'ed in your verse)
Batch 27.3: Back of an LA School Bus - Dark Farmhouse aged on whole cluster Cabernet Franc grapes
Batch 4: DiASSetyl - Buttery Scotch ale aged with coffee that passed thru the GI tract of a Civet.

Many more batches will become available as tears in the space time continuum allow us to access these allocations within the multiverse. Please note that all of these beers, and many more will actually be produced for your enjoyment.

Current allocations of Snafryzzxtyl are now available. Please submit a 5 page essay, detailing why you deserve this bottle, along with the name of your same sex celebrity crush.

For any other information, or a taste of IDIC, please speak to Franch, our NYC conduit for Snafryzzxtyl. Also please make sure you check into our beers on Untappd.
