If I remember correctly the details really don't come out until a week or two before the eventWhere might one get more information about Zwanze Day at Monk's?
yesIs it safe to assume there's details or something on the first page of this thread? When/where/etc?
Oh. Eh. Beachwood Seal Beach has to be a cluster****, that place is tiny. If you and Usofar are in then I guess I'll try but there's a lot of kids on my damn lawn.
When is it?
Seal beach is awesome but sells out in 0.0000065 seconds. Not oversold/ overcrowded.

For the first time in a couple years I don't have a cousin getting married on Zwanze Day. I marked off for right beforehand on the tentative vacation calendar at work in the event a Hill Farmstead trip is possible, otherwise I will be destroying my insides alongside seedavid at Fool's Gold.
Definitely don't have to be there that early. Most people show up early for the bottle share.Sounds like a good time. If everything with the move is settled in by then I will definitely give it a go. All So Cal beer events have left me jaded so I refuse to line up at 430am for any beer.
King's Arms wasn't too bad last year tbh. Wandered in about 9pm, got a table and a glass of Zwanze no worries. Then drank Fou for the rest of the night pretty much.Only one place in London this year (Kernel again). In previous years the second location has always been some bar that was already packed on a Saturday night and so usually didn't make much of an effort around the event.
With The Kernel you just e-mail the office to get on a reservation list for a pour. No social media blitz. Event itself is always really relaxed with a decent tap lineup. Couple of other Loons and about six UK sours. Always a nice time. Zero drama.
Really? That's too bad. In 2014 (2013? when was I there...) it couldn't have been more chill, I was seriously impressed with how relaxed everyone was.Will probably try to make it to Akkurat, as I have for the past three years. It's getting more ********-like every year though (last year it was essentially each beer nerd for himself at 9 pm, surprised fights didn't break out in front of the bar as everyone crammed in to get their orders), but the taplist makes up for it I guess (usually 8-12 other Cantillon besides Zwanze, 3-4 of them rare/unusual).
first year in a while that I can go thanks to the date change... I'll probably try to do HF
The real question is, why does Florida have two locations
I just about had a heart attack. Did a bunch of googling to find out what date change! I'd already booked my flight/hotel in NOLA a while back for Oct 1.
Other than last year, I've never missed a Zwanze at Avenue Pub. Looking forward to picking up where I left off!

2013 was chill and I could basically get as many pours as I liked of everything and I think just one keg kicked during the evenibg.. 2014 was worse but still OK. 2015 was crazy (tho probably still not as bad as some US places). Zwanze ran out in less than a minute, several kegs had kicked well before 9 pm. I expect 2016 to be even crazier.Really? That's too bad. In 2014 (2013? when was I there...) it couldn't have been more chill, I was seriously impressed with how relaxed everyone was.
Not a ticketed event. The bar is open 24 hours a day so around 8 am Polly (the owner) has people that want to participate in Zwanze lineup outside) around 9 or 10 wristbands are handed out . The first 2 groups get to sit upstairs. Everyone else that gets a wristband must stay down stairs... Decent amount of lambic all day. Can't leave for any extended period of time or your wristband is forfeited. At 2 everyone with a wristband gets a pour by group number....Is Zwanze a ticketed event at Avenue pub? What's the turnout usually like?

Unfortunately, our friends from Hill Farmstead Brewery will not be able to take part to the Zwanze Day this year.
The Seymour in Greenfield, Massachusetts will receive the Zwanze Day. Welcome to them.
Whoops.
One of my sales reps just dropped these stickers off for me. There more like temp tattoos but I laughed. Also topical.
Greenfield home? I grew up there. Thinking if I should make the trip back to that and see family at the same timeOh man... do I go home and do Zwanze Day in Greenfield, or do I go to New York City and try there
So then are you gonna blow Dunt for an invite?I hear that Zwanze Day this year at WLV in Chicago is going to be invite only.

The Seymour event is going to be killer, if you've never been you definitely shouldn't miss it. If you have been, you already know the deal.Didn't know we had so many Western MA people--grew up in Pittsfield
