The full draft list for North Park Beer Co's 3rd Anniversary IPA Fest is up and there are some killer choices on it. Getting a keg of the Cellarmaker/Other Half collab is pretty clutch, a number of beers I'm looking forward to trying, and unlimited Party Cup for the win.

Party Cup is a perfect post hockey game locker room beer.

Party Cup is a perfect beer.

Damn, kinda hoping they have tickets at the door for us non-pre-planners. Doing the Alesmith outing at the Padres game th night before and they are putting on a keg of Hawaiian Retreat for us....

Glad I went for the 36 dollar tickets. Is the whole tasting room gonna be closed off? For some reason I thought the mezzanine is where everything is but that’s just vip right?

Yeah just VIP in the mezzanine. NHC awards are supposed to be broadcast there. Maybe QUAFF will win HBCoTY again.

Lol I should read things! It seems like after 12 the upstairs is open for all

...and they are putting on a keg of Hawaiian Retreat for us....

Where did they state that? I feel like I'm pretty good at reading and interpreting things in emails and whatnot but the information/communication coming from that club feels like a foreign language sometimes.

can I just show up and drink this, lol

 

[sdreaper]

Honestly...I don't see why not. I doubt the dozen or so of us will crush a sixtel and still maintain the ability to walk the couple blocks to the stadium. But I might not be giving enough credit to the group going...

 

[kingg]

Any non-Hazy IPA's on the list?

It's not that good...."ducks"

Got a couple of cans of Purple Drink off the line today. Will get back to you all with my thoughts in the next couple of days.

You sound like a pre planner to me ‍

Edit: that's suppose to be a shrug emoji

Seems like a nice spot but I just have weird vibes with the people involved and that they originally hired Pat Korn as their brewer: https://westcoastersd.com/2019/06/27/my-yard-live-opening-july-1/

The entire design aesthetic is like they took everything about San Diego restaurant culture that I hate and somehow made it even more basic.

Booked our flights last night. OpenBeerDays, I'm coming back! Now to find an Airbnb and one that will let us check in early. We dragged our winecheckers and suitcases through brussels to cantillon and to our airbnb last time. Those were definitely not made for the cobblestone'ish streets

Yep, been there, done that.

I thought I'd see more of you fools at North Park yesterday. Missed out. Great freaking party.

Killer event, lots of great beer and chill vibes. Good seeing those of you who made it out and congrats to kmcnair on three years!

Line at NPBC is already 50 - 60 deep for the Macaroons Before Dying release and growing. As much as I detest standing in line for beer, this one's well worth it.

Appreciate the update. Buddy was debating on going...hoping he is there already. I'll be at Lomaland helping the better half with her proxy pickup.

 

[rcubed1]

Too hot and humid for that.

 

[pugsandsuds]

Too hot and humid for that.

Just wandered over from our hood, weather was perfect for some walkabout! Beer hive intelligence has evolved as people lined up towards the shade. Or they were directed that way. Either way, standing in line now, ready for a Party Cup

 

[Brent212]

How much were Macaroon Before Dying bottles?

 

[reidjoshua1]

How much were Macaroon Before Dying bottles?

25. Line cutters were prevelant but everyone got 2 bottles who were lined up by 10. It's available on draft as is many of the IPAs from yesterday

This was the first time I stood in line for a bottle, but the convience factor for the location couldn't be beat. Adding to the fact the beer is killer
