Out of curiosity, is there a plant closely related to hops or similar in appearance or smell that is already grown in state?

 

[RyanG1]

Bump for people down to meet up at Mikkeller/Toronado tomorrow (Wednesday).

Down to meet up at Mikkeller, haven't been there in a minute, and closer to my commute home. Or Toronado if people prefer that. Can meet up at around 6 ish.

Still planning on SARA for Friday.

Timing for me is still wildly unclear. One or the other would be easy. I can also do Cellarmaker or City Beer easily if someone wants to throw one of those in the mix.

100% in for SARA Friday and somewhere tomorrow. Probably won't make it out to the city until like 6:30-7 though.

Day trip or after work?

 

[AndresR]

I might be avail tomorrow for a beer at Mikkeller or Toronado tomorrow.

But yes, in for tomorrow.

Leave work early and get there for opening around 3 ish? Staying in South Bay, so need to be back early evening.

I'll ping you and Joey offline to arrange the deets

 

[RyanG1]

But yes, in for tomorrow.

Let me get all dictator like and suggest Mikkeller tomorrow evening. I will be there from 6 pm onward, and then it is easy to migrate to City Beer, Toronado, or Cellarmaker afterwards pending a group decision

I will be the Caucasian male in work attire looking for peeps.

This friday is going to be sick.

 

[johnnyramirez]

Mikkeller looks to have a better tap list, so I'm favoring Mikkeller. I'm in for whatever JCastle wants ultimately. I'll see the rest of you guys Friday at SARA.

 

[litheum94]

Looks like I'm going to be in SF Sunday afternoon/evening. Defenitely hitting Cellar Maker, and possibly Mikkeller if anyone is around that day.

Mikkeller sounds good, Toronado was ok yesterday. I'm going to Cellarmaker on Thursday.

Heck yeah. I'm going to get my Portland 12-bottle shipper Thursday, so I should have great stuff to share. Worst case, I brought Kalvipoeg, Big Bad Baptist, and OTWOA.

buzzword, chime in so I know when to bring you some OTWOA.

I'm planning on going to SARA on Friday - when are you headed down?

 

[Arbitrator]

Cool, looks like Friday is it-day at SARA. I'll bring bottles.

I'm driving from Livermore but I can pick people up at BART, plus I'll likely head to Berkeley that evening to pick up Rare Barrel bottles

Man, why this week... I wanna be part of this. Too soon. I gotta get in on the next carpool down to SARA. I still got things I gotta pick up over at the rare too. Moving in Sunday to Livermore as well.

Once you're done moving in we should grab a beer. Maybe even Sunday if you finish moving early

Definitely. I'll PM ya.

Dammit. This is making me wish I wasn't out of town this weekend. The fact that I'm going to Portland is the only reason I'm not canceling my plans.

 

[johnnyramirez]

Imma arrive around 7 tonight. Will Mikkeller let us open bottles? And what's corkage? I don't wanna be an ******* and show up with bottles if it's not allowed and I'm taking BART so I can't just drop them in my car if it's not allowed

Good question? I'm not sure of the answers to either.

$15/$25 (for magnums) corkage fee

****...I'll stick take something to open just in case, but I figure their bottle list is pretty good. I'm also taking an empty growler in case we hit Cellar maker.

Do they have a separate bottle list at the bar? The tap list is looking ok to me right now, but if there are good bottles down to split some!

D'oh! Left my cellarmaker growler at home, need some more questionable origins.

Yeah, I emailed them and they sent me the bottle list last week. Some pretty good stuff IMO. Allagash Coolships for like $30, some Cantillons for $40.
Cellarmaker fills blanks correct? If so, I can take you a blank 2L screw top

Cool, sent you a PM if you wouldn't mind sending the bottle list. Interested in what they got.

Thanks, but no more room in the fridge for beer

Just emailed Cellarmaker about growlers. Will fill blanks, but also was told you could use other breweries' growlers, just to use painters tape or something to cover the logo.
