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.

Sweet! I much prefer using my Societe SS one over others. Just gotta make sure I have painters tape at home

That's the same growler I plan on using when I pay them a visit Sunday

They may not allow stainless -- they have to be specifically registered by each shape and size with state regulators. It's not that they couldn't, they just might not have. They also can't fill the Alesmith-style 32 oz growlers.

$15/$25 (for magnums) corkage fee

Guess I'll head to Sara & de-cork one of the new bottles they've got today

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

Whenever johnnyramirez tells me, as we were planning to ride over together. He seemed to want to get there at open. I'm open to going with whomever, though, especially if it won't burden johnnyramirez with having to drive into SF? Not sure the geography or traffic patterns. Heck, I don't even know which couch Im crashing on Thursday night and so where I'll be during the day on Friday; I should probably figure that out.

Arbitrator, I'll be doing the same.

 

[Bluecane]

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.

The only thing they specifically mentioned to me was clear glass; they won't fill those growlers. Guess I should clarify to make sure.

I'm down for any time. I am free anytime after 12:30 to head over there. If you or anyone wanna BART out of SF I can pick you guys up there, which would admittedly be easier. However, I can also go into SF since I wanna get growlers at Cellarmaker

Re: sara

I may show up Fri too but at opening, I'm in SJ if anyone else wants lift

 

[drgarage1]

Anyone at Mikkeller yet? I'll be stuck at the office until at least 6, but it won't take me long once I actually walk out the door.

<cough> johnnyramirez Bluecane and whomever else...

 

[johnnyramirez]

I'm BARTing from Livermore. Will arrive between 7-7:30.

 

[johnnyramirez]

Well BART from Dublin.

 

[Bluecane]

I should be there around 615

Re: SS growlers at Cellarmaker:

"As long as they're either 750ml, 1L, 64oz, or 2L in size. "

Yep I think volume is the only thing that matters when registering the labels.

Great to see another brewery adopting the policy!

Leaving the hotel in 10 min, should be there soon

What's everyone wearing?

 

[RyanG1]

Ahh sorry to miss the lot of you! Had to jet back to the house, but good times meeting Bluecane and kicking it with drgarage again.

See y'all at SARA on Friday I'll bring some Idiots Drool!

 

[litheum94]

You don't want to know what I'm wearing. Seriously.

 

[Bluecane]

What's everyone wearing?

I'm in a purple polo and jeans. AndresR is in a Ballast Point shirt. Back behind the bar.

 

[johnnyramirez]

So who's in for SARA tomorrow? I'm down to carpool and drive a couple of people. Preferably pick up at BART so I can avoid going into the city but either way works for me.

I'm headed down earlier in the day actually - gonna try and get in a MTB ride at wilder ranch before I drink my weight in beer.
