La Mission is the betting favorite for Sunday breakfast though. I need Cristo's kick ass coffee for Sat morning.

I'll have to check it out, have actually never had the pleasure.

Cascade seems to be doing fine there.

Their tap room is decently busy but the local market for $30 bottles is almost non-existant. I would bet the majority of bottles sold locally are sold to tourists.

What's everyone hitting for beer week today? I'm being optimistic...

-Mikkeller
-old devil moon
-holy water

Toro ****** nado

 

[KevSal]

was hoping to hit up cellarmaker for some brain skillzzz and turok juice, and a glass of that vanilla vastness. chances are looking slim

definitely hitting up alpha acid today

 

[Shakedwnst]

Thanks for the advice a few pages back (and the 4 pack Ryan_G )! Ended up getting 2 collabs and one moonage (probably did that wrong but moonage sold out right after I got there) and left them all with my friend bc tired hands.

Those craft weed bars you guys got now are something else though.

 

[Tlo4sho]

Will be at Sante tomorrow for their tap takeover deal, otherwise

Toro ****** nado

Lambic event at GHS yesterday was about as good as it gets. Great bottles and kegs, reasonable prices, and zero hassle aside from the initial line at opening. Felt like being transported back to a simpler time when it was possible to just ram down bottles of Cantillon without huge markup or crowds.

That line wasn't terrible at all. And once you got inside, the bartenders were slanging tumblers to drink in line before the ensuing Cantillon chugging contest. It was so civil in there, it was bizarre. I seriously savored the moment.

Damn I picked the wrong event.

What is GHS

What is GHS

Gourmet Haus Staudt in RWC.

And what was a good event this year will surely be a **** show next year. That being said, I didn't go this year, but now I'm going to try to go next year.

I don't think it happens every year, then again none of my SO CALLED friends on the peninsula let me know it was happening so maybe they just never told me about previous ones either.

That said, the one time I did drink Cantillon at GHS it was awesome. Had a liter of Mamouche that day with some excellent @dsgolovin sausage.

Damn, I need to get some of that Pamp beer, but going from work to Temescal to home is a good 2.5 hours of driving. Sheeeeiiiit

I didn’t know it was happening, but then again my usual beer week involves drinking beer at home. This week I get to watch the olympics too.

I'm mostly just going to Beer Rev. I'm sure there are other fun events that aren't shitshows but whatever.

IMO, all the SFBW events kinda suck

I think if you've been doing this for more than a few years it's kind of a let down since we're used to things being more generally exciting, but having things mostly be "here's some cool stuff from area breweries and occasional visits from acclaimed places farther away!" is honestly fine. The beer scene has changed.

Toronado was pretty turnt up last night. A+ event.

 

[RyanG1]

You all missed out on the sold out Cerveza y Paella festival at Thirsty Bear.

 

[archagon]

The Mikkeller Oregon event last year was amazing, really looking forward to it this year.
