Nice. Here I am across the bridge just idling my day away btw the downtown spots for no reason other than sloth.

















Ok gluttony too.

Think they'll still have bottles and their guest for the next hour?

No idea about bottles, but Appreciation was gone. Also, holy hell was that a lot more crowded than I expected.

I nearly didn't stop. Drove past at 2 and detoured to Berkley Bowl after seeing the line. Able to walk in at 2:40 and as I ordered a Fields Forever was glad I flipped over the menu. Seemed a very high percentage of the crowd was drinking Appreciation.

Thanks for the heads up. Got there around 3:45 and was way too late. Was able to catch with up schwartzoid for a bit though.

Did you get extra bottles? Just wondering how long they carried on giving out wristbands.

Nah, I didn't have a lot of time to spend, so I figured I'd just pick up my two later.

We missed out on Appreciation, but secured bottles of Shadow of their Eyes, and holy **** was Fields Forever great. The coffee beer ******* rocked too!

Does anyone know if there is any Blacklight (the Boneyard collaboration with Widmer) in the Bay Area? I just found out it's not coming to my part of the state, and I'd like to grab a couple of bottles this weekend.

Thanks.

Has anyone seen Andechs Doppelbock around Fremont or RWC?

I see from beermenus that it is in Alameda, but I wanted to see if a closer option was available.

No sign so far. I'm keeping my eyes peeled, though.

I've not seen it, but I'm really happy they're distributing around here now. Def my favorite German brewery.

If you happen to see it, would you mind posting here, or messaging me? Thanks.

I will certainly seek to remember, yes.

I bought all the bocks in the bay area and drained poured them.

You are welcome!

Free beer for life.

Curious what you locals think.

I lived a block away from there for awhile. Even if I still did, I'd be apprehensive. Not sure I'd utilize the free beers if they are blando "microbrews" ala BJs or other similar, uninspired breweries. Who knows though, they could end up doing some worthwhile stuff.

There's no fricking way it would be worth it. And I'd like to lknow they're good first.

Are the guys that are starting this place well known/established brewers? It might be worth it if you lived close by and knew the place would be decent. But I'd be skeptical too.

Isn't this place close to Toronado?

Who's all hitting up the Rare Barrel Next Thursday for Enscrolled?

Is that society-only or something? Cause I want bottles of that ****. Just one please.

Yes, Founders party.

Just RSVP'd, but knowing what is going on a week in advance is a long shot. 50/50 chance of actually making it on the day.

Likely depend on what is on tap

I might be, but I'm not actually super interested in the third bottle at $30. We'll see how it plays out.

Maybe they will have West Ashley or some other random surprise. I won't miss out this time.

Splitting my membership with a homie, so it's easier to justify paying for half of the 3rd bottle and splitting it with him.

I'm a little surprised thought that they jumped the price from $20 for the regular releases to $30 for this beer. Ten bucks is a huge jump IMO. I sure hope it's not the norm with these more limited releases.

Yes. And at the T Room you can get Blind Pig for like 3 or 4 doll hairs durring happy hour.

Yeah I'll basically stop buying them if they do that. They haven't been good enough to justify the price, and Ensorcelled isn't either.

 

[falc0n26001]

$30? Never mind, I'm good on that.
