If you're around that area again, you need to hit Heaven on 7 nearby as well, if you haven't been before.

Would meet anyone here any day I am free for lunch.

 

[Lognar]

Diehl and Naperville. No?

I'm in that hood. Suburban liquid lunch.

come say hi to us in the city sometime @longnar

all this talk of yuzu fierce, how does it compare to Marz Bubbly creek yuzu?

Marz everything sucks, so well

I found Marz Bubbly Creek yuzu to be pretty good.

 

[SAISON FUCK]

I don't think that everything from Marz sucks. I like Bubbly Creek Yuzu and a couple of their hoppy beers. I think Yuzu Fierce is a tastier (and less expensive) option.

 

[tinypyramids1]

bubbly creek yuzu isn't as good as yuzu fierce for sure. i found fierce better balanced and at a better price point.

best marz is definitely jungle boogie. super unique and tasty.

To piggy back of that, Blueberry Jungle Boogie is a damn fine beer. One of the highlights of the summer for me. I would drink that and Yuzu Fierce as much as possible.

 

[RedCoffee]

Starting the petition to make Yuzu Fierce a permanent fixture of Off Color's lineup. I don't want to go back to a time where I can't buy this.

The $10 charity donation is new, right? That's nice.

When you take away the $10 that is going to charity $75 isn't actually that horrible of a deal. The next closest venue, Side Project, is $75 as well and that's not including having to pay for gas and a hotel for the night.

It's all you can drink and all you can eat. You'd spend double that at Local Option if you wanted to try 5 different loons on tap, ate food and drank various other beers throughout the day.


This even is essentially the same price as FOBAB and I get to eat all the food I want, enjoy tons of delicious beers on tap and not have to be nuts to butts with a bunch of sweaty neckbeards.

$85 including food, drafts and a glass isn't that bad. WLV does Zwanze the right way. Last years, sans the rain, was perfect.

Really bummed I am missing it this year.

nuts to butts with a bunch of sweaty neckbeards

This will probably happen anyway

 

[mjohnson171]

I get to eat all the food I want

Let's hope!

My only negative comment about last year's event was not WLVs fault but rather everyone else at the buffet style food line taking way more pulled pork, slaw, etc then they should have. I actually didn't get any food save for about a 4 fork-fulls of coleslaw because all the rest of the food was gone (I was at the back of the line). Ravenous bastards!

If the rumors of a much smaller crowd than last year are true then I'm hoping this won't be the case.

I had a huge plate of food brought to me. Not sure how that happened. Now I feel bad.

You should. I now blame you completely for my malnourishment.

 

[adschus]

Drafts outside of Zwanze are not included, correct?

i didn't realize that it included food (even though it says so right there on the page). that's not nearly as bad as i thought, then. i'll still have to bow out due to having to keep my spending in check for a minute, but i'm glad that others will probably have a good time. the advance ticket thing should also hopefully help cut down that huge line.

INB4 Alesmith's catalog gets slaughtered in here

Umm....Months old IPA!

PAH! What catalog? You mean entirely pedestrian beers like Speedway Stout? I use that to scrub the inside of my coffee pot.

imo, it was better before they changed the recipe, the bottle and artwork on the label

 

[kawilliams81]

I wonder if Pale .394 will be sent here, or if that's staying a SD only beer?

I would imagine that will stay SD only. We've never seen it in NYC.
