Glad I got there early and tried Buckley. Only made it for the first hour before the long trek back. Buckley is so thick and rich. Tons of coffee/rich chocolate and a hint of maple. Outstanding beer. Bottle share was close quarters but I got there at like 10:50. I tried to mingle a bit by plowing through and pouring some OEC. If I poured some for you, that's me. We should get TalkBeer name tags for events. Kept up my quota of meeting 1 new person. Rizdac is a good dude to talk beer with and quite the generous trader. Talked to some folks down near Lansing that we really nice people too. Many 3 Floyds stories from the old days. Quite a lot of swag. Have to agree that the shirt didn't do much for me but my wife loves them for baggy night shirts. Glasses are really cool. Opener is sweet. Water bottle was a nice bonus. Extra bottle sales were nice to grab 2 beers I haven't had. It was in a tough spot. The lines looked rough as I was leaving. Those puncheons are massive. Interested to find out what's inside.

Really appreciated the OEC pour! Nice (kind of) meeting you. I was hanging out in the corner with Dunt and Treebs.

-missed out on Buckley by about a dozen people. Hope we'll see this in bottles soon cuz it sounds awesome.
-Cuvier definitely was better on draft than the bottle I had in early Jan. I gave my other one to elkhunter36 so I hope it's tasting like the draft version now.
-Wayward was ******* great as usual.
-One of the highlights for me was that damn cherry soda. Only knew about it thanks to Dunt. Tasted great blended in with Salarium and Maigre.
Was hoping to see one of the Sporadic's on tap but we headed out around 3. Otherwise, a smooth event besides the consistently long tap and bathroom line. Was great to finally meet and shoot the **** with Dunt Treebs and Rizdac. Looking forward to what's in store for the next one.

The Cuvier will be shared at Huna in 2 weeks so I will let you know how it was.

His saisons has really turned into something special with some age so I was hoping you would hold onto it a bit. Have a great time down there!

I was right there how didn't we meet.

Was it like 3 times more packed or am I turning into a claustrophobic old man?

Definitely more packed. Still had a blast, just wish the tap line and especially the bathroom line were reduced.

Great meeting and talking with middlebrow, Treebs, PHBoiler, Dunt, SSideTROLLer, nsh221 RedCoffee, zubaz powz87 and anyone else I forgot to mention. Buckley kicking so quick sucked, but Sporadic #2 Bourbon was put on late so it was nice to try it. And that cherry soda - need a growler of that. Hopefully outside is an option next time!

WTF I was hanging with Dunt and Treebs and I didn't meet either of you. I didn't get there until 1 though.

Or maybe I did and I was drunk. Sorry.

These beers were good.

Missed connections: Transient edition
Noticed the Zubaz, wish I would've read your posts from earlier before getting there. Definitely will say hi next time man!

I was wearing a dark orange coat with a grey Jolly Pumpkin sweatshirt underneath, if that helps.

 

[disapowzment]

I met Thorpe429 and someone else. Im bad with names. I also had an awkward stand off with adschus, I told him to hang out with ApocalypseZombie more.

 

[SSTroller]

This.
Looking forward to a warm weather event next time. Definitely seemed more packed. That or more people stuck around longer? The last event was Thanksgiving weekend, right?

Also, shout-out to whoever left the Casey saison and East Bank on the bottle share table (or more accurately, on the stool 20 feet away from the bottle share table). Not sure how those didn't get finished before 5pm.

 

[RedCoffee]

I was the fat guy with glasses and a beard. How come no one said hi?

That uh.. is never gonna happen.

Bish. I said hi, bye, and drove you back to Iowa.

 

[adschus]

If powz87 and I can have a civil conversation, you and I can, too.

 

[Rizdac]

I tried to, but you refused my Lights Out, so I moved on.

 

[adschus]

Anyone know if the Sporadic wine was aged in white or red wine barrels? Also, are they spontaneously fermented?

Maybe Chris will send an email with details about each later on.

It's OK. I'm prob not missing out on much

Zubas? what the hell is a zuba...
*google google noodle google*

Oh... Oh my,
Well it looks like I was standing a few people behind powz87 in the bottle line... I was a little preoccupied with my meat pie. Hopefully I can say hi next time I see someone in some zubas.

 

[disapowzment]

It was semi civil. It was 75% me telling you to hang out with ApocalypseZombie and mjmoser since you guys are all neighbors. It was like an IP troll.

My internet stalking game is poor these days. I don't know which group of dudes contained certain TBers. No clue what anybody looks like. That would be one positive of CCBE. Facebook would put faces with names. Next time I'll wear something Purdue-related so I'm more obvious to the screen name.

**** that. Let's all just wear zubaz next time.

This is the most I've ever typed zubaz in one day. Shoot me.

We need TB Zubaz more than we need TB Glassware... Gene please...
