Brews for New Avenues 2019

[bread1]

Hopefully some of you were savvy enough to put yourselves on the waiting lists... we released a few tickets today.

Glad my wife spotted the waitlist option when we missed Oyster & Geuze tickets, excited that we'll be able to attend session 2 now!

A Thursday afternoon event with Raf and some others will be announced soon. Just as an FYI/teaser.

I was planning to fly in Friday, but I may have to ditch my wife early and fly in Thursday if this happens...

If you get a bunch of alerts about this post it's only because I keep liking it and unliking it over and over.

Catch me at General Admission, down for a bottleshare though.

Where’s the best place to donate? My friend brought some bottles by, they’re at work right now but I can bring them wherever. I take it we shouldn’t take them straight to New Avenues? I’m just a few blocks from there.

You can drop it off there.

Cheers!

Good catch. That must have been left over from last year. Updated!

Also, if some of you missed the email, we have some new incentives this year for donating - The Brews Cap & Cork Crew! Check out the details.

BFNA would be benefitted by broadcasting this more aggressively/on all media platforms. Also, 2 VIPs including myself didn’t receive the email about 7/6.

That's odd about the emails not getting through. I'll have the crew look into it. You can still email [email protected] if you want to attend the share tomorrow.

Regarding the Caps & Corks Crew - it was posted on the Brews FB page on 6/26 in addition to the email. As for IG, that platform isn't great for delivering a lot of info, not to mention trying to link to anything in posts, but perhaps we'll try to craft a post in a way that'll work. We'll do follow-up posts on FB as well.

Hey everyone - if you're in town, come down to World Foods in the Pearl this Thursday from 8-11p. We're doing a tap takeover with Great Notion, Modern Times, Ruse, and Upright. Brews Chef Connor doing some tasty food to pair. All proceeds go to New Avenues.

Also, we're starting to tease the live auction items on the social medias. First one just went up on FB (the 3F experience is back!).

 

[PDX]

Is there anywhere in Bend we could possibly drop a case off to donate?

We do not have any drop-off spots in Bend at the moment. If you can find someone coming into Portland, we can work something out, though.

Doing lots of posts on the books and the grams leading up to the event if you care to follow:

Dear all the wonderful supporters and attendees, past, present and future,

Just a couple days after Brews 2018 ended we started planning Brews 2019. We have worked tirelessly all year to bring you an amazing series of events which kick off on Thursday.

It was with a heavy heart that I have made the last minute decision not to come this year. My partner and I just moved into our brew condo, we won’t have a kitchen for another week (the condo was finished 4 months ahead of schedule), and we have a teething 9 month old. It is just too much for one person alone.

If you have any questions or need help, I’m still available and the team (James, Jeremy, Andy, Jessica, and myself) are sending 100s of texts a day making sure everything runs seamlessly

More info emails are going out soon and Instagram is being updated with info. Don’t forget the online auction.

Let’s make this yet another record year to help homeless, foster and at-risk youth. I will see you all with the family next year, or see some of you in Europe. Have fun, bid high, and be safe!

Love you all!
Cheers
Don


Ps some fun going on in Corvallis!

Totally understand, and don't blame you. You want to keep your relationship together... lol. That would be so mean to leave now.

 

[Lurkaholic]

Massive congratulations on the 9 month old and the new condo Don! I'm sure it's old news to everyone here but super cool to hear. Definitely the right decision! I can only hope to be able to make such wise beer related choices one day...
