I'm going to be in Las Vegas from Nov 4 thru Nov 8 for SEMA. But weekend before/after I has zero plans.

What’s it take for a non-industry simple enthusiast to get into SEMA?

 

[reidjoshua1]

Could be this Friday, if not, certainly early next week.

this weekend. and I picked the wrong weekend to go out of town and not be bartending at mikkeller

 

[blackzag05]

My parents are in town next week so I think we'll hit up SP on Tuesday or Wednesday.

If you come on Wednesday, we will be collabing with Wild Barrel

Speaking of, are we ever going to get beer from Wild Barrel? haha. The email we got 9/24 said we would get info on our first release this week or next. It's now been 3 weeks. Seems to be a total disconnect going on over there.

I saw brewer Bill on Saturday and I think they bottling up a beer this weekend or next (sorry I can't remember exactly).

Are they barrel-aging the t-shirts as well, because we haven't seen those either.

RIGHT?!?! You think they would have had the glasses/shirts ready by now. We paid $250 almost a year ago now with absolutely nothing to show for it.

They did say we could pick those up with the first bottle release. I am ok with that since I don't want to make a trip up just to get another brewery tshirt.

Tiny little place in La Mesa. Beers are good enough, really like the brewery setup itself. My main complaint about them is that they always seem to have the same ol' stuff on tap. Type of place that is sustainable as a hyper local spot if not a "destination'" type brewery.

But the first rule of living in/near La Mesa is to get excited about anything new that opens in La Mesa, haha.

"Sourworx" might top "Wet Reckless" as worst name ever. It makes sense, but it looks so so awkward and offputting in a way I can't put into words.

Dogs >> humans

I still remember almost every dog's name and pretty much never the name(s) of the owners.

Dogs are great. Leave them at home.

I have a dog and whole heatedly agree.

 

[sdreaper]

Well yeah, there seem to be more that aren't well-trained. We leave ours at home because we didn't socialize him enough with other dogs. He loves humans and will love other dogs eventually, but he will sound aggressive if another dog comes near the better half.

 

[chemman141]

Can we please switch topics to babies at breweries? Dogs at breweries is so 2017.

 

[JonathanAmes]

I don't think they'd let me in Societe if I didn't bring my dog.

 

[rcubed1]

I do my best.

Although I could definitely bring the cat.

Yes, why are you still allowed at breweries?

Dogs are like babies - if they're well-behaved, I have no real issue with them at a brewery. However, seems like there are far more that are ******** and should be left home.

On the sidewalk, facing University.

Ah, expanding their existing space. That was sorta how I read it but thought maybe it could be a satellite tasting room.
