Last couple of bottle shares

Anyone planning a trip to CO. for gabf? I'm having my 2nd annual birthday/gabf bottle share on Oct. 1 so let me know who would like to join us on this crazy get together!

 

[skeezerpleezer]

I am probably in. My cousin will be out there also.

That backyard looks busted. And that Veritas was the **** huh? I enjoyed it a lot, up on a fuzzy level.

A good visit with some friends this weekend.

I received this today!
We discussed a trade for zombie dust. He threw in a few extra surprises and I was super excited when I opened the box!
Shooting a west coast box back to Mr. Goss on Friday!

So, I had my 2nd annual bday/gabf bottle share. A few empties didn't make it into the picture, but here's the majority of the destruction. Unfortunately, I can't remember trying some of these, and atleast 10 beers didn't get cracked open. I have a feeling that this will get more and more crazy each year.

the damage from our little gathering this weekend... blank bottles on the right were my saisons (same batch with and without brett)

Share on Friday. That Heart of Darkness was the best of the night unanimously, but 2010 Found Found, batch 1 Aurelian Lure and the Blueberry Flanders were all amazing as well.

It was 2010 Fou Foune. I like how my phone autocorrected to Found Found haha.
The TreeHouse was Curiosity 8, it was delicious!

And yes, the Heart of Darkness was just insanity, we each got about 2.5 ounces and sipped it over the course of the 4 hour share.

Never heard of Heart of Darkness, googled it, started wondering why you all were excited about a 5% stout from Magic Hat. Haha.

I eventually figured it out (obviously I'm not a big mead fan)

Mini bottle share with 5 people. Also 2 different homebrews were shared. 1 was an Enjoy By clone to compare to the old and fresh commercial ones.

Doing my first bottle share on wed night, any tips? Do you do lighter beers first? We'll have sours, a tripel, and big stouts mostly. M
Any advice to get the most out of it would be great. Thanks!

Proper glass ware, AKA Dixie cups
Thanks for invite too, Bill

Start light and make your way dark, Id finish on the sours.

It's just me and a couple buddies that split the preservation society. Maybe next year you jump in and we do reservation society 2016?

 

[mtnagel]

My experience with bigger bottle shares is everyone puts their beer out and everyone grabs and opens the best ones (including me). There was no light to dark. I did go to one that was much more structured but only because the leader made it so. Just depends how you want to do it.

Sign me up, so long as you wouldn't mind splitting the bottles further lol

If doing anything hoppy make them last. I like to mix sours in between big beers like BT/CR to help act as a palate cleanser.

A little share on Saturday with 3 buddies.

have some snacks on hand. drink water. drink the beers slowly. pace yourselves - both in terms of how much you pour yourself, and how quickly bottles are opened. sucks to plan a 3-hour tasting and not have any beer left in the last hour.

i prefer to cluster similar beers together - all the sours, all the stouts, etc. i find that sours make a good intermission between non-sour styles, since they are so different.

that's quite different from my bottle-share experience. i've only gone to smaller ones, with friends/acquaintances. the crowd was never so big as to not be able to talk to everyone at once if needed. it has never been a free-for-all. we passed around and all tasted a bottle at the same time. we would share our thoughts on the beer. sometime we would do group blind tastings (one person pours for everyone else into numbered dixie cups, or the bottles are wrapped). we can take the pulse of the group - "everyone up for another hoppy beer, or should we move on to sours?".

i don't know if i'd enjoy bigger tastings where everyone scrambles to get in as many tastes (of the good stuff) as quickly as possible.

 

[mtnagel]

Maybe I portrayed it poorly but there were probably 50 or so people at a couple I went too. Still amazing because so much amazing beer was brought - at least a hundred awesome beers. I thought it was great. I've been to smaller more organized ones and they were great too.

 

[wobrien]

Thanks for the replies. We've got about a dozen 750's for five friends while playing poker. So it won't be a crazy free-for-all. I like the idea of sours between stouts too. Thanks again
