Churchill's Anniversary Renaissance thing 2014

[VaTechHopHead]

Do you think I could get a 4 pack of BCBS with a pair of CFH?

Yes. I think that trade would get done fairly easily.

FT: 4 pack of BCBS

cant wait to eat an alpine bbq brisket and drink fresh nelson that day amongst 7 other alpine locals

I might join you. There are so many events going on this Saturday and yet I don’t really feel like going to any of them.

for reals, are you planning on going to Churchill's? If I cannot find a ride up north I may be doing the same (or just hit up PPOB). I love Renaissance, but cannot stand the craziness.

Sweeeeet, myself Alucard4 and his brother will all be in line as well. Camping chairs, ponchos and cards against humanity in-tow

I have 3 beers for craig. what are your other plans? not going to wait in any lines.

They are getting in town Friday afternoon/evening and not 100% sure what we're doing from there. Going to get food/drinks somewhere and probably hop in line around 2AM....yay. There are talks of closing down Churchill's and then getting in line immediately, haha.

I'm guessing we'll be at Renaissance until 4-5ish and then no plans after. Possible talk of going to Societe, drinking at my place, etc. So we're flexible.

Yeah will do, I have no idea what time they're getting in town. Craig said they'd like to leave around 3PM so hopefully they'll get in around 6-7PM. I'll keep you posted on Saturday as to our whereabouts and plans. But it will include drinking the new Monster Muscle Peanut Butter.....oh yes.

In. hoping for a case of that and a case of strawberry for the beers but have no idea what he is bringing. If he brings cash I will have to resort to www.myproteincellar.com

Heard that site has a terrible reputation of over-pricing their protons. Beggars can't be choosers I guess

 

[TheDuke1]

are you going to come down for the festival in the evening or the following day? Or are you tempted to come down Friday so you can get a bottle to use as bait to land an ultra rare HT 4 pack.

Possibly Monday or Tuesday for maximum contempt.

I’m thinking Alpine Saturday, Churchills Sunday. Alpine will be contingent on whether Nelson’s on tap – the last two times I’ve gone they’ve been out.

You know who to blame for that....

I'm definitely in for Churchill's Sunday. I just need to figure out if it's worth going Saturday.

I don't know - protons are pretty expensive to generate. That new proton therapy place in Mira Mesa cost over $200 million to build

Alpine just put on a new batch of Nelson and bottles are available as well. Very few beers measure up to super fresh Nelson...

I need to get to Alpine more. Impossible with kids though.

Word is Ivan is making a decision on to-go bottles by tonight.

To-go as in online sales, upping the amount being sold??

Lost Abbey's e-commerce provider has won the contract to do CFH online sales!

Waiting in-line for 9 hours or e-commerce....should take about the same amount of time. So it's a wash.

Pretty sure the wax on the bottles is still hot....as the bottles get more "blue" as you look to the right in the picture. The melted wax vat was probably just to the left outside of the picture.

 

[VaTechHopHead]

And this is Ivan's response to pricing of the glassware:

"thinking $5 it's a 6 oz snifter pretty much cost I think"

Translated: Will raise price to $8-10 on Saturday

No new information regarding sales, just a photoshoot. This year's blend does include some 2009 Older Viscosity, however.

Don't ruin the secret...tons of beer geeks still think it's aged in Jack Daniels barrels. Increases the .rar value

How are there 3 females around a beer? I don't think I've ever seen 3 in that place....

 

[evilc]

BTW guys - PLEASE post lots of pics of camping, line cutters, audio clips of whining, whatever you can! Not much on the agenda Saturday! Entertain me!
