[TNGabe]

The pork roast sandwich from Dinics was pretty darn good. It is in reading terminal. The ruben we had from Herschel's was amazing last night too.

Ha- but look at this! Mussels and Houblon Chouffee (yesterday) at Eulogy:


That was so good I think I'll go back tomorrow!

My husband called early this morning and left a message. Apparently, some of the texts and photos intended for me went to his phone (my old number). He wondered about one text that said "Party at room XXX" from about 1 AM, and a photo with a "bunch of people with name tags".

[TNGabe]

I'll be wearing an orange volunteer shirt during the keynote address, and then should be in a bright blue Tribute brewing company shirt for Club Night.

Yeah, he showed off his new vertical system. It has 2 pots, one on top of each other and it is similar to a recirculating BIAB. It came in 2 sizes, 15 gallon and I dont recall the other size. I also saw an E-brewpot. It looked like it had a mini tower of power hooked up to it. Pretty cool stuff.

Didn't see one.

Best picture from pro night. Wish I could have snapped a picture of the beer fountain from Laganitas last night.

 

[TBBrewer]

Pliney, FW16, RR Sup, and Cantillion on draft at Strangeloves. About .3 miles from the convention.

Missed the cantillon, but Oxbow Loretta is making me happy. Off to club night after this.

 

[TBBrewer]

Nice. I enjoyed the FW 16 before the club night. Pliny and RR sup were gone by the time we got there. They had bottles of FW 15 and Thomas Hardy 09 for sale too.

 

[brewguyver]

The SWmBO (hophead) found a falconers, cascade, Citra, Nelson, + at the FBI booth. Needless to say I barely got a sip.

Anyone meeting up sat? We're jacks lack of lunch plans, but thinking of hitting the public market.

FYI if you're not going to the banquet, Parc Brasserie and Morimoto's were A-Mazing (and I'll be broke for the next month now but it was worth it).

If any of you guys have interest in hops, chit chatting with Stan Hieronomus is the most fascinating thing you can do at the conference. He is really a spectacular guy.

[njale]

I'm really hoping I run into him. I'm fascinated by biotransformation.

Anybody witness the exploding commemorative cans? I guess they pulled the cans they handed out at registration due to quite a few exploding. I looked at the 2 we have and they look like the are ready to pop.

 

[TBBrewer]

Looks like Monks is pouring Pliney, Sup, Dam, and one other RR now.

 

[ChugachBrewing]

I had a Lou Pepe that was great. I also brought some yeast if anyone is up for a trade. Ecy, Bruery, my house culture. I served my spontaneous coolship beer at club night. Hope I got to meet some of you even if I didn't know it.

I did unfortunately, and I believe I was the first to experience it. I checked in Thursday morning at 7:30 then went to work for the day, on the drive into work it exploded all over my windshield and all over me. I tweeted a photo to Round Guys, the AHA and the company who canned it called Mobile Canning or something.

They were all apologetic at the time but basically thought I got the one defective can that made it through. 2 hours later the same thing happened to my buddy, then I met 4 people at Pro night who had the same issue.

It's really ashame bc Round Guys is quite good, but they are very new so I hope it doesn't hurt them.

I think I had that beer, were you wearing a tank top? If so, very nice beer and what's the story behind it.

If you're the same guy I poured you a dark sour from the beer engine later on made by one of our members.

 

[stonebrewer]

Last night was awesome, beers were very good. clubs should be very proud of yourselves for the show and beers you poured. I think I caught yooper's headache too. might have been from the body check she layed on me...you are a trip woman!!

drinking with palmer was one of many highlights for me along with Dave Pyle and stefin clapham's sours!

looking forward to one more party. see ya there!!

yup: mine. stonebrewer was just telling me about the exploding cans, so i had picked mine up and was going to put it in the garbage bin for damage containment... and it blew up just as i got the can over the bin.

 

[njale]

[sweetcell]

couldn't tell you - it exploded! most of the beer went in the trash bin, some was on the wall.

 

[stonebrewer]
