DannyFullpint bringing some hot fiya.

Also cool that you're getting some Mitch beer.

Oh you mean this little diddy. http://thefullpint.com/events/tfp10

Alesmith.

<ridesquicklyawayfromsdreaper>

Eh, I liked the rest of the place, though I wouldn't spend as much time there as sdreaper, even if it were down the street from me.

Agree. Place is dead to me since the move. Congrats to expanding but lost 100% of its charm.

Beers are good, place is eh. Though probably would be better if I was there when friends were there. I'm a last call kinda guy.

I actually think you all are just trying to find the smallest possible thing to nitpick today.

Post-vacation "back to reality" blues

Don't forget that shot of Malort you need to take too

As an individual that closes alesmith more than pretty much everyone aside from employees, I call ********.

Bad Boy bottles this Friday. Who's going - or, more importantly, who still cares?

 

[bathroomlaughter]

They could always just put the ******* beers on tap and skip this whole nonsense.

they lose like 3 gallons in the towers when a keg kicks. it's not feasible to lose 3 gallons of a barrel aged specialty every time you tap one.

That's an insanely high volume, wow.

Going. Care. This batch of SD Surprise would be your jam since you're back on the real hop taste train. Might be my favorite SD Pale

Also Baby Face is back. Singled Out Hallertau Blanc also excellent.

Maybe a weekend trip to #nature in #EastCounty (aka all the things Tyrsis hates) is appropriate...

 

[rcubed1]

I'd consider going Friday but I'm out of town.

Include a gun store visit.

Just up the street.

If anyone is coming up to Bruery anniversary, I'd love a bottle. Hit me up, purty please.

I've heard great things about these... What time are tix going on sale Fri? There's no link yet... I'm flying to Bahrain Thursday so may not get a chance to snipe one

You need a password to get a ticket, that is only good for a time slot.
It's ******* stupid.

huh, is this a new thing? i've never gotten a ticket or been denied entry (i know the password is posted on social media, but no one has ever asked for it).... always just walked in to get beer (although it's usually been later/less busy when i've gone).

Actually, that's how I've always done it. Just walk in there confidently and order a beer - but the last two times the guy has been totally anal about it.

No. This is actually the way it's been from the beginning. You're supposed to get a ticket from the desk so they can control how many people are in there at once. Whether they actually ask for the password at the desk is another thing but that's been the process since it's opened.

 

[hi im richie]

I give zero ***** about the speakeasy nature of it - much rather sit in the main room and watch people react to jukebox choices - but the increased availability of BA stuff on tap is a net win in my book.

The jukebox is my favorite part of the Alesmith experience. I queued up Tubthumping by Chumbawumba on Saturday and knew I had made a great decision.

 

[evilc]

Any death metal on the juke?

While I wasn't there saturday.. #fuckyou4that heehehehehe, of course when I see Nick working I always play some Spice Girls to **** with him...and you know....everybody else.

Any death metal on the juke?

Not a ton, but enough to make me feel happy while I am there.

Yep. Not as much as at Pizza Port but enough to be entertained, as sdreaper indicated.

 

[Previously]

I would have been sure they were joking if I was ever asked for a password to drink beer at a brewery.

always just walked in[to Anvil & Stave] to get beer

This.

 

[evilc]

What if you don't know the pwd? Refused entry?

 

[SDBeerInsider]

Oh you mean this little diddy. http://thefullpint.com/events/tfp10

DannyFullpint what time is the ticket sale on Friday?

 

[sdreaper]

What if you don't know the pwd? Refused entry?

Well the password is used to get a ticket at the desk. It is in a framed picture..right in front of you as you ask for the ticket, so you know....right there.

Password will never grant entry into Anvil & Stave directly....only the ticket will.

 

[DannyFullpint]

DannyFullpint what time is the ticket sale on Friday?

Let me figure that out, and I'll get back to you soon on that. I hadn't really thought about it. I was just going to set up the BPT and then announce it's live on social media.
