Oxbow - Goods From The Woods Fest

[Evan1212]

Wow, that's harsh. Care to elaborate?

Extremely overpriced beer. $150 sixtels. Scotch tape notes in all beers ever since the horrible brett beer that have led to cross contamination because they don't know anything about cleaning their systems, or culture in general.

I see. Thank you for the info.

In that case, where should I go for beer sans the high prices & scotch tape?

Hey GFTW-veterans how do pours work?

Hey GFTW-veterans how do pours work?

You buy tickets (2 bucks each last year, i want to say?) and different beers cost different amounts of tickets for different size pours.. EG, regular FPA might be one ticket (or maybe the minimum was 2 tickets, i don't remember) for a fairly large pour, first fruits or something might be two or three for a smaller pour... Last year there were no tickets included with entrance price - I assume this year will be the same, as if you consider each bottle we're getting to cost $15, the price hasn't changed. It doesn't sound like a super good deal, but honestly I was totally satisfied last year and didn't actually end up spending that much cash on tickets.

Also there's likely to be free beer from at least a couple places, one of which you'll have to discover for yourself

Tickets. Last year they had multiple different spots on site that were pouring... each beer was worth a different amount of tickets

Yeah, last year there were five main pouring stations, I think? in the tasting room, in the brewery, two on the far side of the pond (maybe just one?) and one on the near side of the pond.

Can't wait for this event! Gonna be such a great time.

 

[HevvyMetalHippie]

ITS HAPPENING! As we get closer to the end of the week, I'm getting more excited. THERE WILL BE BEER.

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

That settles it, doing this next year

How early would I feasibly have to book the airbnb on the property?

It was still available when tickets went on sale this year... It's pretty expensive because it sleeps like 9 (and there's a multi night minimum) so I don't think it's super hard to book...

Shitlord manor Maine edition?

What was freestyle 30? Wasn't that an IPA? Lemme check untappd

Oh no that was the birthday beer. That was cedar aged???

I didn't have 30 fresh, had it at GftW last year, so maybe the wood faded out

I thought cedar was involved, but could be making it up. I do know they found an old boat near the brewery, chopped it up and aged the beer on it (seriously)

#30 was aged on cedar. Really looking forward this treatment on BAFPA.

Anybody have any conjecture to what the bottle would've cost in the taproom? Wanting to spot a friend the cost of the bottles (who just wants something to do while she's in Maine) but wanna be reasonable with numbers. Are most oxbow bottles more like $15, or $30?

Most these days are $15, 500ml.

Edit: and these bottles are 500ml.
