Firestone Walker Invitational Beer Festival - Roll Call

[StarRaptor1]

Ok with the addition of Surly the Firestone Walker Invitational Beer Festival is looking to be even better than last year.

I know a bunch of us that are going and various shares before / after are occurring.

So who all is going?

 

[stupac2]

I'll be there.

 

[Arbitrator]

I'll be there. I hope I'll be able to drink a beer or two. Last night I was all set to have a beer (planned for it all day) but wound up drinking scotch. WTF?

I wonder if I can carry Laphroaig into the fest.

 

[biglobo8971]

I will be there. I am looking forward to ........

A share during an event like that?

 

[stupac2]

A share during an event like that?

Is it that much worse than doing one before/during/after DLD?

 

[Arbitrator]

Is it that much worse than doing one before/during/after DLD?

Let's be honest: bottle shares before / during / after events like DLD, FW fest, Eclipse release, Bruery Initiation are nothing short of inviting Darwinism. I've been saying this for years. I always frown upon these shenanigans and rarely participate, but I think you'll see me slathered in facepaint attempting to grope random people on June 1st.

I'd be disappointed if you weren't!

And yes, of course it's moronic. But still, beer geeks gotta beer geek.

Yes, because the bottle share IS Dark Lord Day.

Nobody is doing a bottle share during FoBAB, for example.

 

[Devi0us]

Me and the crew will be there for sure...the addition of Surly is just a bonus...

[shughes67]

If anybody is gonna be in the Salinas area on the 31st, they are having an unofficial kickoff to the the Firestone Festival party. Tapping a keg of 2012 Parabola among other things.

will not be reuben bash brothering this year.

had such a great time last year that I didn't want to go and be let down. ending on dat der high note. plus... beer...

 

[Arbitrator]

I offered to bring Alpine Magnificent 7 to FW fest for a trade. Someone offered me "any of the regular Alpine bottles" for it.

Aside from the fact that I'm bringing growlers of Duet, Nelson, and Pure Hop to share at the fest, when did traders become so stupid? Even if it's not a one-off, treat it at least as a rotating beer.

 

[MarkIntihar]

when did traders become so stupid?

I think you know the answer to this... and if you don't just ask abecall.

Based on the hotel availability and rates, I'll be either sleeping in a cardboard box or Ubering from Pismo. How could that plan possibly fail?

I have a Motel 6 reservation in Atascadero that I still need to cancel. Would that work better?
