I'll be there. PM me if ya wanna try my porter or standard bitter. Both quite tasty
Any body have pictures from DL DAY?
One of the first things I saw when I got there was this fella walking out holding his case of DL by one hand. Of course the bottom blows out and a bottle hits the ground and shatters. He dropped to his knees and started licking it, which I tried to get a photo of but my phone is slow...that's him in the upper left. But right after this picture he picked the case up by one hand AGAIN. There went the rest of his bottles...right on the ground. He stormed off leaving a trail of profanity and my buddy went over and checked the box and there was still one good bottle in it. By then he was long gone, so free bottle for my buddy.
I saw this too. Poor guy. I was carrying mine close to my chest with two hands for safety, but still I would've been pissed. The box failing was probably from a bad tape job by 3F.
That was VERY tasty. I wanted to stay, but feared the wrath of the wife if I would have. Good time.
Conpewter, what time did you get in line? I got there a little before 9:30 and was in the cauldesac.
Maybe, but either way he was carrying it with one hand. Those boxes were made up of two thing...cardboard and tape. Neither of which I trust $60 worth the beer with.The box failing was probably from a bad tape job by 3F.
We did this same thing...just hung out and drank beer all day. Then when the line died down around 4 we jumped in and had our beer within 10 min.I got in line around 3:15 pm Since I had tickets I was guaranteed to get bottles until 6 pm. I got in line near the brick wall, probably 10 minutes waiting. I had been there since 11 but was in line for the samples and then stayed in line for hours to get into the brewpub.
Here's one of me holding the Gumballhead Cat
I was standing right behind them in line. I was the one with a corny keg and a picnic tap.
That was me.
Conpewter: Was it a blueberry porter? I had one of those from someone walking around.
Here's a few pics.
Spent several hours in line but it was a blast anyway. Very relaxed atmosphere with many people sharing different brews. It was my first year and I didn't know what to expect so it was a learning experience as well . Next year will be better thought out for sure. Along the curb people were lining up empty bottles from all over.There must of been 30 -40 different bottles. I meant to get a pic but forgot.
Just make sure you get a liquor license. The jamokes trying to sell these on ebay and CL might get a knock on their doors from some guys in dark suits and sunglasses soon. Besides, $40.00 a bottle is just crazy!Im going next year just to flip a profit...
If you need to off load one we could work something out :cross:Ah good point. I probably won't do it then, it is nice to have though!
P.S. Gotta keep some for sure until I can brew it and use it as a comparison.

All you have to say is that you are selling the bottle as a collectible item and not the contents. That how they get away with selling the SA Utopias online. You do not know what the contents are and recommend not drinking them.
What is this Mirror Mirror?
It's Deschutes Brewery's Double IPA that is limited release. Their regular IPA is called Mirror Pond or something like that.
