Great, it'll be a five hour line instead of a six hour line.

Batch 2 only lists apricots. Batch 1 also had loquats and cherries. I'm worried this is now going to be as fruited as your average Almanac sour.

I wasn't a huge fan of batch 1, either -- I got diacetyl off it pretty strongly. I did drink it fresh, though. I'm sure it cleared. I much preferred Brandy Peche, which was the last of their sours I really enjoyed.

I'm gonna be there hella early in live with the g/f and some friends.

I think the best route for us is to get really drunk, and make my gf feel as uncomfortable as possible.

I may end up single after SFBW.

Alright, looks like I should have some HF growlers to bring out with me. Who wants to get together and open beers (in town Wednesday-Sunday)?

Where are you staying? I'll bo out with my wife and her kids from next Thurs through the following Tues. Staying at the Downtown Courtyard Marriott.

 

[beerandraiderfan]

Dammit I just know I'm gonna be standing in the rain waiting for/drinking beer once again during SFBW.
Its like, it only rains 4 days a year it seems, but there's about a 50% chance of it happening during SFBW the last decade.

DIPA Fest. . .??? . . . Sour Sunday

3, 1, 2

I like how the watermark is over the one it should be over.

beerandraiderfan We'll have umbrellas, and if we need to, we can always send my gf to get us food/supplies.

She's like, the beer-whisperer when you're drunk...

Awesome. I'm like, so inculcated in the desert lifestyle (read: dumb) that I didn't even think of an umbrella to stave this impending **** off.

Glad we will have binders full of diverse women. While your company is a beer whisperer when you're drunk, mine is like when she is drunk:

It seems we have similar tastes, my friend...

Looks like Toronado is re-whaling Cable Car by making it on-premise only again...

 

[loeyjarko]

WOOOOOOOO going to be drunker than usual for the next 10 days!

 

[Arbitrator]

Tomorrow's going to be an all-over-the-Bay kind of day. Looking forward to running into some of you.

I lolled at her comment about everything going great with wait times up to 8 hours.

 

[matedog]

Any reports on events thus far? I went to Torpedo Room and had some good BA SN beers yesterday with little hassle. And they had 09 Bigfoot. Went to RB after. The interesting Cellarmaker beers had kicked which was the price I paid for not showing up with the hoards earlier. The collabs were good though.

 

[Arbitrator]

Wow, FWIB tickets sold out in <2 minutes.

I went to stuff on Saturday. Got to Cellarmaker at opening since the Apline event at Giordano Bros was a bust. Were the first ones in and got a seat next to Tim from SARA at the bar, so that was cool. It got packed shortly after opening. Rare Barrel was next and it was busy but they did a great job making lines move fast. Tangerang was the favorite out of the dry hopped sours. City beer was insane for the Sara event so we left, monks kettle had a line for sours so we went to sycamore for DFH and that was packed and no bueno.

 

[drgarage1]

As expected, Oregon night at Jug Dhop was good, if slow. Unlimited pours of Ale Apothecary Spencer healed all wounds, however.

Cellarmaker was crowded but fine on Sunday, and City Beer was downright pleasant during the 12% event/after Bottle Logic.

Looks like CC for released today.
