Oxbow - Goods From The Woods Fest

[HevvyMetalHippie]

I feel like Oxbow is slept on/they don't communicate what they have and when, so people aren't talking about it?

The last time I tried to hit their tasting room in Portland, there was no notification that anything out of the ordinary was going on, so when I got there, apparently they were closed for a holiday party/private event. Bummer for sure.

Yes and yes. Normally the bottle releases are publicized somewhat on social media, but you have to be paying attention or you could miss it.

I wish they would just post a picture of the draft/growler chalkboard to instagram once in while or something, a la SARA style...the Blending & Bottling IG account goes virtually unused.

I saw Sasuaga was bottled, did they release it yet? Do you think they will have a release party for it?

Not yet, I'd guess late September based on conditioning times for recent releases.

Yeah, same. It didn't look like they announced it at all. Hoping to taste some more spontaneous stuff

I went on facebook 2 mins after posting, they just created the fb event 10 mins ago.

Hoping for pours of:

Millhouse
Dirty 30
Lucky Red Hat
Barrel Aged La Griseta

These are the 4 best draft-only Oxbow beers I've ever had.

I was thinking (and hoping) a Saturday/Halloween pumpkin fest would be perfect. Can't go to Goods, so I hope for this.

 

[Jdawg1]

Yes, Will had mentioned CBC Fest will be Halloween. Perfect day for it!!

I was up there July 26th & had the BA La Griseta. I was told there was only a small amount they aged. Hoping for you, there is more. It was delicious!

 

[JustinBK]

Anyone interested in some bottle share before or after GFTW?

Looks like all of these are on the draft list except Lucky Red Hat. Nothing spontaneous on the list they posted... Hopefully they add some of that stuff Gonna need to get there early to make sure I get Dirty 30 and BA La Griseta..

Where do you see the draft list?

Despite the note on the photo, I would be very surprised if this was actually the final final list. But who knows...

 

[Don2]

Looks like at least a couple of us will be up Friday night, is there anything special going on?

Not that I'm aware of. Seems everyone is either doing something on the 24th or saving up for Maine Beer Week (starts 11/1)

 

[HevvyMetalHippie]

That means we can bang through the city Tokyo Drift style!

 

[KevinC1]

I'm progressively more upset I have to go to a wedding that day.

That day is going to be crazy up there - Dinner release, Swish release, GFTW, Ghoulschip release, Mott the lesser release, and garrison city is releasing a BA stout and cans of a double IPA.

I've actually heard more buzz around the garrison city release than I would have thought... Believe me I didn't go searching for that info lol
