They definitely helped make the move to Livermore last year a lot easier for me.

I drank about a 1L worth of Maui Waui at Harry's RWC a few weeks ago. If anything from Altamont is on, I order it.

I like almost damn near everything they make. Love the price of growlers on top of that.

OMG yes! I must've heard wrong, but when I visited the brewery last month, I swear I heard the young lady bartender charge $24 for 2x 2L fills.

From RR:

The first Wild Friendship Celebration will take place at our pub on Thursday, May 7th. Due to space limitations, we will only be able to host 120 people during the 5 hour tasting. Our special VIP guests, Jean Van Roy from Cantillon and Jason Perkins and Rob Tod from Allagash, will be on hand to discuss their beers throughout the event. There will be a total of 12 beers including both Wild Friendship Blends (the Belgian version and the American version) and several from Cantillon, Allagash, and Russian River, naturally. Our chefs are excited to have a little creativity in the kitchen and will prepare some tasty food to pair with these amazing beers. Tickets are $100 and go on sale this Saturday ONLY April 25th between 9AM and 10:30AM. They must be purchased IN PERSON at our brewpub (unfortunately, we are not able to take reservations over the phone or via email). Each person will be able to buy up to 2 tickets. This event is ages 21 and up only. Photo ID will be required when purchasing tickets and again on the day of the Wild Friendship Celebration! The pub is located at 725 4th Street in Downtown Santa Rosa. I will announce on Facebook that morning if and when the tickets sell out!

The ticketed event will end promptly at 4PM. At that time, the pub will close for an hour so we can clean up the joint. The pub will open at 5PM to the public where 5 Cantillon beers and 4 Allagash beers will be available to drink until supplies run out! I’m not sure if there will be any Wild Friendship beer left, but if so, we will make that available for tasting as well. Since space is so limited for the ticketed event, we bought extra of each beer to enable us to spread the love a little farther! Kitchen will be open that evening for business as usual.

I have to be up in Santa Rosa on Saturday. I'm betting there will be an early line up for this **** though.

Bottles will be released, too

 

[matedog]

[stupac2]

He's joking.

 

[matedog]

I'm guessing since the ticketed event ends at 4pm and is 5 hours, that it starts at 11am on May 7th.

 

[matedog]

He's joking.

Ah, that explains the wink.

I do look for any excuse to use that gif though.

 

[bdogg1]

oh DAYUM!!!!

 

[drgarage1]

God. What a dumb way to sell tickets. At least Allagash had the sense to do this as a lottery.

We've been over this, RR gets off on people lining up stupid early outside the pub.

They're a bunch of idiots, and definitely on my list: Breweries I Don't Support Anymore.

 

[wuntrikpony]

If by chance anyone is going up and can score an extra ticket to the RR event, PM me. Not sure I'll be able to get there early enough this Saturday. I can hook you up with some nice bottles as a thank you. Thanks

 

[drgarage1]

Oh, I know. But this is beyond the pale. Tickets for 60 customers, announced 3 days in advance? You're not giving locals first dibs. You're trying to incite a riot.

Best thing would be to just put them on sale at the pub with no notice, like they do for 3Ls.

I'm actually in line right now. 4th dude down with the zippers on all articles of my clothing.

 

[preacher1]

Agreed, this is a stupid way to release tickets....or bottles.

I will be sleeping in on Sat. and saving my energy for Butter and Eggs festival.

 

[stupac2]

Butter and Eggs festival.

Wait, what? I need to know more about this.

Posting this in Sour & Barrel-Aged Ale Enthusiasts, hoping for rabble.

Ugh, I'm going to be in line for the RR event tickets tomorrow morning. Maybe I'll see some of y'all there.

Hating myself so much, but the fiancee made it too easy to go.

I'm bailing. It being a guaranteed clusterfuck combined with jedwards saying the friendship blend is mediocre convinced me.

 

[jedwards]

At least it'll be raining?

I can't wait for them to announce the lineup which will make me regret not going, though.
