Doh. At Hopyard now. They busted out Pliny the Younger yesterday at 5PM and ran dry after 2 hours. No Younger for me. There's still Brewery Night on the 22nd though...

You missed it... If you would have went the the Hopyard in San Ramon they didnt run out until 6:30!!! Not that many people knew that they had it.

To bad i got there at 6:35


Its all good, im going to Russian River tomorrow.

If anyone can get rr in bottles an is looking to trade for any Chicago beer pm me. I can get you goose island, new glarus, three floyds, half acre, emmett's, or any other brewer from the area.

I went to the Double IPA fest at the B Street Bistro and they had it there. Of course, Steve Altamari's, High Water Brewing, beer was still the best I had all day.

 

[JoeBronco]

I checked that out. Its a bit expensive for what you get. $40 for 5 tastes...
I would rather buy a few bombers and call it a night.

I ended up skipping the Double IPA fest and cleaned bottles instead, then went to a "Stout Smackdown" at a friends house. We had 8 different stouts that we did blind taste tests of and rated. Good times.

Ah well. We were at Pleasanton Hopyard.

 

[JoeBronco]

NICE! I stopped by P-town hopyard, but when they told me they already blew the keg i went to the San Ramon Hopyard.

Once you have a glass from the year before, they don't seem to mind if you bring it next year. The $40 includes the price of the glass. If you already have one, they let you buy the 6 oz pours for $2 each. I always buy the glass every year anyway, but I see people doing this at every festival.

I've never had this, but I'm in Portland so I'm going to go searching for it.

Also, if you'd like to see where the beer is carried in your state:

[JoeBronco]

A thread is always better with pictures!

This was the line on the last Sunday they were serving (at 10AM) an hour before opening. (my SWMBO the one in black in back sitting down)

Two hour wait to get in Lucky we were "inside the velvet rope" and got in first. Pays to get in line at 8:30am.

What everyone is waiting for... the 10oz pour!!!

Thanks for the heads up, that's my town!

 

[YNOT2K]

geez folks...

is Pliny the Younger really worth the Rock Star treatment it's getting?

i hear they are shipping a couple of sixtels up to the Seattle area. (yes, when they say kegs they mean sixtels).

the word is out, and people around here are rushing out to taste this magical elixer, this triple IPA deluxe!

me? nope. not worth it to fight the crowds when i already have so many great breweries in the area with similar suds to quench my thirst.

to each their own i guess...

 

[TheWeeb]

at Falling Rock they were using a ticketing system and getting $8 for an 8 oz pour Yes, much hype, and to each his or her own.

 

[jasper9]

i was worried about it being overhyped. but yes, it is worth it. i wouldn't do it too often, and i wouldn't stand in line every year for it, but every once in a while hell yeah.
