See you at Session 2

i am so jealous of all of you members @ SARA today

 

[coldstorage]

I am just jealous of the people that had session 2.
Looks like much space was enjoyed and lovely things were poured.

 

[matedog]

In spite of work issues, had a great time at session 2. Spotted Ryan_G and BrandoSF among others. Second time having Atrial ever and confirmed first time was not a fluke.

 

[RyanG1]

Release and party couldn't have been more enjoyable. Session 2 was very chill and did lots of tip touching. Highlights were Elements of Composition, Broken Truck, Atrial on tap, The Archer, Petit Blanc and of course all the SARA offerings: Forest for the Trees, Cask Strawberry, Saison Bernice, Capitals Sunset. Thanks to all the SARA crew especially and of course JK and DG.

Mildly bummed I missed out on Broken Truck as that's one of my top "gets," but really can't complain too much. Elements was also top tier.

 

[ewwiccc]

That's nice glassware (EoC)

 

[loeyjarko]

Missed out on all the fancy **** but elements and Vanilla Joe were great! Thanks team.

Ok, I have a confession to make.
I didn't realize they were pouring ANY of that ****! I saw Ryan_G post broken truck etc in another thread and assumed they were popping bottles.
The line for the bar went all the way past the winery like it was a WA bottle release or something so I just bought EOC, said hello to a few folks and went back to work.

Damn....

From talking to session 1 folks (and looking at untappd feeds), it looks like the good stuff didn't get broken out to session 2. Glad I switched times, was way chill and a really nice way to spend an hour and a half.

Yeah, no Atrial and no Broken Truck for session one. Two definitely sounds like the one to go to...

Probably because the rsvp was so low for session two. Gotta amp it up some how?

Sure, the beers were great but no ******* lines was definitely the best part. bird22 announcing broken truck at the bar was probably the calmest I've seen beer nerds assemble.

We really need to wear name tags at beer events. Coulda tip touched/ticked so many tbers.

 

[walterfredo]

so what gems were flowing in the third session?

Atrial Rubicite
The Archer
Das Wunderkin
Petit Blanc
And then that Sara collaboration with other half went on draft at the very end. I think the name was Oh, SARA

 

[theLostWizard]

Sad I missed that (Beercraft also had it before Ratebeer but wasn't able to make that either). Hoping for bottles as Recency Effect has been stellar....

"Collaboration with Other Half. Belgian style blonde ale with lime juice and zest, aged in gin and wine barrels."

You didn't miss anything. Beercraft was totally miserable. The line was over 100 ft long and snaked all the way around the bus made perimeter in the back. I parked, went in, took one look, and just left.

Damn. brentsdodgers, 82300sd, rrryanc, and I were there Friday afternoon and it was actually calm. This was before the Toppling Goliath event though.

 

[coldstorage]

Yeah I heard it was calm before 5 Friday. After it was totally unbearable. Dipped out to moonlight.

Somebody convinced me to stay for the TG part, against my better judgment. You were right to leave when you did.

BTW, shout out to the brewers and beercraft management for opening bottles of assassin and kbbs in front of everyone waiting for them to put on the other TG beers. Real classy way to handle that.

Ships passing in the night

Apparently all weekend! I'm white, male, aged 25-35, somewhat overweight and often sport a bit of a bad idea of facial hair and beer clothing/hats. Hard to miss!

Are you me? Oh wait, missed the word somewhat.

What was up with De Garde-y looking glasses that some people were using yesterday. Did those come from the De Garde EOC event?
