Sculpin commercial during the World Series?!?!

 

[SerenityNow]

Besides gran prix and woodshop, what are the sdbw events you all are looking forward to?

Lost Abbey Barrel Night & a bottleshare at the beginning of the week!

 

[golden1]

Wife’s leaving for La Quinta so if anyone wants to open some bottles at my house on the 18th lets party. Im in Oceanside, a couple mile taxi/lyft from the Transit Center.
Either regular BBQ bottleshare OR...

Im thinking 6 to 8 people where I open a Sante bottle per person and everyone would pitch in to help me recover most of my cost. All 3 from Q2 2017 would be opened. I did something similar with a year of the Ale Apothecary Club and had a great time. If you are interested shoot me a message.

 

[quetzalcoatl]

Yeah wtf. Constellation money does something I guess

 

[evilc]

Sculpin ad during WS again. Beer Advocate score mentioned. Kill self.

2x now?

 

[Tyrsis]

Kinda cool to see Colby and the Miramar brewery.

 

[SerenityNow]

Even though they are owned by Constellation, I still think its a huge step up from seeing Budweiser ads.

 

[evilc]

Remember when Sculpin was good?

Dammit. If I didn't have to go into work at 6am the next day I'd be there.

Still waiting on tt to post tix for Saturdays event... Otherwise grand prix, woodshop, and the BA/barrel tasting at seven grand is on my sdbw docket.

By the time I looked for fathom fishing tickets it was sold out. I will not be denied next year.

i don't know, the allure of Grand Prix doesn't do much for me anymore. Last time we went, only about 40% of the beers were actually good, and life's too short to spend on ****** beer.

I might be down - the 18th is currently free for us, but we may also be making a trip to the House of Mouse that weekend. Will keep you updated.

Also, La Quinta is in the middle of nowhere, but the La Quinta Resort is really ******* great. Would stay there again.

I'm choosing to split a vip lap while picking up my db Speedway rather than drinking every lap in one sitting for a third year in a row. I iz smart.

I did that the past two years and it was still too much. *shrug*

That said, I'm really looking forward to the Seven Grand thing. Been meaning to go to more of those tastings.

 

[quetzalcoatl]

I'm def over gran prix too. I'd rather drink good stouts instead of like 4 good ones 3 mediocre ones and 3 or so horrible tasting things

Yeah, the Speedway events haven't been as fun since they moved it from O'Brien's. They've gone through all the good ideas and a lot of the variants just sound gross now.

Unless my waning mono (oldest person to ever get it!) has a resurgence, I'll be there. Just don't kiss me or steal a drink from my beer.

 

[evilc]

Is that what turned O'Briens off from Alesmith? Can't recall the last time I saw an Alesmith beer on tap there.

Yeah, rumor was that there was some butthurt when Alesmith moved the event in-house.

I think it works way better logistically at Alesmith but I can also understand O'Brien's being frustrated at losing one of their more popular events.

 

[Abigigail]

Besides gran prix and woodshop, what are the sdbw events you all are looking forward to?

Live Wire Anniv (may not be an official event, but who cares, it's going to be awesome)
Fifty Fifty @ Rip Current NP
Fishing with the Brewers
Brewery Olympics @ Coin Op
BA/Barrel tasting @ Seven Grand
Bear Republic at Newport Pizza
Battle of the Guilds (maybe, and most likely no when I walk by the door and it's all neck beards)

 

[Tyrsis]

It was retarded at O'briens. Yeah let's serve 30 Speedway variants at a bar that is smaller than my apartment. Also, bring your own muffin tins.
