Eclipse Release Party

[abecall98]

abecall98 might be interested or know someone from the sacramento crew who is.

I appreciate the lead. It's just too short of notice to make it.

Poker Friday the 13th though!

 

[beerandraiderfan]

It's pretty unlikely that we'll know before the party. Though I'll try to get it out of them at the vertical tasting!

HUMBLEBRAG ALERT!!!!

I've known every year ahead of time. There is no greater ethical violation, than breaking an attorney-brewer confidentiality agreement.

You going to Beatification the next morning?

Not sure yet. Still debating it.

I figured if you couldn't make it you might know someone who would want it.

I get in on Thursday and leave Friday after bottle pick up. Plan on bring a huge variety of Crooked Stave stuff and maybe a few other surprises. Can't wait. I have been looking forward to this event as soon as I was done nursing the hangover from last years event.

I am looking forward to seeing everyone.

Side note - I MAY have an extra ticket available. Should know more by tomorrow. I would like to keep the special bottle, and the abilty to purchase half of the PVW eclipse allocation. Mostly looking for a Beat mule (I will supply $$$, just need pickup and delivery) no cost for ticket.

I might be interested, but I might also not be with wanting someone to mule you beat for it

Not exactly sure what you are trying to say. I think you are saying you would like the ticket but don't want to goandpickitupformebro. Is this correct?

Pretty much. Definitely not for an entire allotment being that I'm going it solo, one time only, and nearly 4 hour drive each way for me.

Doesn't look like we're going to get the snow we're hoping for,

Rose is expecting about a half foot today. ****, I'm only at 4000' and I woke up to snow. Rose's summit is over 10,000'

Was gonna go skiing this morning, but figured with 20-35mph wind at the base, 30-45 at the summit, I've seen 71 & 73mph gusts this morning (weather data, not literally) . . . screw it.

I'll just go tomorrow hopefully, enjoy the powder, wind of "only" 10-15mph in the forecast, but yeah, cold. Gonna be wicked sore at the party. And for skiing again on Friday.

Feel free to lean on me, I'm pretty sturdy, I'll counterbalance with the growler of Oude Tart I'm bringing. Also, maybe a few tongue's will feel tickles .

Do I see single digits in Truckee?? Jeebus, my entire wardrobe won't keep me warm. Might see some pukesicles on the walk back to the hotel. We're going to Squaw regardless now and try to ride Friday (FBS please heal me). If it sucks, we head west to RR. Gotta make the best of a vacation away from the families.

I grabbed a Halia and Gillian, and have a few random Sasions at my house, how many bottles is normal to take?

Brought a case last year and opened it all. Bringing at least four bottles and two growlers this year.

 

[eikhcsel]

Ditto. Brought a case, came back with just Eclipse. Sharing bottles at this event is the best way to meet mostly everyone there. The more you bring, the more people you meet

FTFY.

Incidentally I'm planning on following my own advice and bringing one bottle. One three-liter bottle.

I will probably bring some more just in case we pregame again. What time are you and lymph getting into town? I assume you're carpooling.

 

[Rau711]

Will the brew masters choice be on tap?

 

[Usofar]

all packed up and ready to fly after an 8 hour day in the office.

It hasn't always been, but was last year.

 

[Arbitrator]

I know it's late in the game, but does anyone need a ticket? My wife decided she's not into it.

Here's just a quick update from Todd in that other forum:

Plan on it being very cold overnight Thursday/Friday. No keeping beer in your car overnight. It will be 3 degrees yes THREE by dawn here. It is cold enough to freeze Eclipse!

When feasible our 'party' bottles go on to become future commercial releases. As did "Java" or Coffee Eclipse.

We are very happy with this years 'Party Bottle'.

We have several 'new to everyone' barrel aged projects to share on Thursday!

I'll offer to sell it to him IP in Truckee, then burn it in front of him and masturbate on its ashes.

EDIT: someone tell him to join here and message me.

I'd pay to see that.

HaveUseenMyCellar was looking for one over on BA. Help him out.

God dammit, maybe I should read the full thread before posting.

i have no business being in this thread. im just a big Eclipse fan. it might have already been talked about here but i havent read all the posts yet. any hints or speculation as to what the "party bottle" is. they seem to be on the up and up with what the hot **** of the moment is in the beer nerd community. my guess is a mole theme

I'm hoping for cognac, a brandy vanilla, or something with some heat and cinnamon.

Petite syrah gr...oh, wait.

It's possible, given what was written by Todd, that it will be some more of Hunahpu type eclipse if he wants it to enter the regular line up next year.
