    To celebrate Drake's 25th Anniversary, the brewery is hosting a special party on Saturday, September 12th as well as releasing an 18% Strong Ale aged in Wild Turkey whiskey barrels called Headzo. There's gonna be live music, some food trucks, and a loaded beer list, heavily weighted towards barrel aged offerings.

    It seems there is so much coverage on SoCal in this forum (unless it's about Russian River or Rare Barrel), so I thought I'd post to give some NorCal love. Anyone going? What are your expectations of Headzo? Whale?!

    Info on buying bottle/VIP tickets online: http://drinkdrakes.com/drakes-25th-anniversary-vip-tickets-on-sale-now/

    p.s. - There is NO cover. Also, the VIP tickets don't really make sense to buy, unless you REALLY want that 5oz commemorative glass. Buying the online bottle tickets makes sense, if you are worried about them running out before you get there. Also, on reading this, it seems like I might be a schill or employee of Drakes. I'm not. : P

    Headzo will be $25 a bottle, and according to this picture of the label, it will be 1 pint 0.9 oz bottles, so around 17 oz's per bottle)...

    The party is on Friday, not Saturday.

    I'll be working at the event and I encourage people to attend. Drakes always knows how to throw a great party.

    You are right, I am unable to edit my original post. Friday Sept 12th. Maybe an admin can fix that for us?

    I'll 2nd this. Party was great, they really run a smooth ship at Drakes. As for the Headzo I am amazed how smooth drinking it is with such a high abv. The barrel profile on it is spot on with just enough sweet malt and not cloying at all. The abv is hidden very well, it's definitely one of those dangerously good beers.
