Allagash/Cantillon/RR "Wild Friendship" Collab

[lambandtunaphish]

das it mane

also the untappd photos make it appear that they are not even coming close to adhering to the 4 oz pour size. lol. maybe that's just a thing for the gash event.

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.

bdogg sent me this...

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

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.

"Allergies"

"Allergies"

Haha, wish it were the beer, that wouldhave meant a lot of sour beer consumed.

 

[leprakhan]

You missed out on the Fou and cheesecake?! Sorry to hear that. I thought my allergies were going to get the better of me as well, but they knew to behave

 

[leprakhan]

Are you sure it wasn't that ruphy'd Bruery growler goomba's were splashin by the fountain that got chu ill?

Just an FYI, that event was awesome. Meeting Jean and Rob and getting to hear in depth commentary on their beers/history/practices was priceless. The beers were awesome, especially the Cantillon version of Friendship Blend (out of bottles no less!!!)

Oh, and the Beatification was a new batch in bottles. 3/25/15 bottle date to be exact.

 

[matedog]

I had a blast as well. The food was delicious, getting to try the individual components and the two blends in addition to the Cantillon offerings was great. It was also cool to see so many familiar faces, not just of beer fans, but bar owners and bartenders.

Here are some photos I snapped:

Beat, Cantillon, Resurgam

Duck salad

Ridiculous meat and cheese plate

I think I had the glasses switched since they were kinda weird about having the empty bottles on tables.

Me and BeerMoto getting all #newmoney fanboy on JVR.

Makes total sense, but I guess I'm not getting empties to go tomorrow.. Sadface.gif

I blame all idiots who recap/cork ****.

Yeah, JVR was walking around with a bottle of Jean Chris Nomad that had a very prominent sticker that said "FAKE" on it, so they are probably very aware of the issue.

That was a gift from me.

What's the story behind that?

What's the story behind that?

Feel free to meet me for a beer and I am happy to share. Not really interested in going through the entire story in print to protect some innocents.
