Official Upland Sour + Wild + Funk Fest Thread

That rush to get a pour of persimmon was rather interesting. And fun.

 

No extra profits, we all got re-billed for the correct pricing. The distributor still has to make up for the 3 bottles I sold for $10 before they were kind enough to contact me about the price issue.

 

thats a good enough reason for me, cheers!

 

Well, I need more pomegranate lambic.

 

This festival was dope. That is all.

 

totally agree...really glad we drove down from WI for this--awesome beers and a nice, chill atmosphere

 

i was standing right in front of the table when they brought that bottle out...got the first pour and one for the wife....was in intense experience for sure!!

 

Pomegranate Lambic was soooo good....think I had like 4 pours of it....I think i saw Mordormongo face down in a pitcher of it....

 

it was quite fantastic to just be able to amble up to the table and get as many pours of sour reserve as my heart desired

 

Did anyone else see the bottle of Dantalion they brought to the table around 3? I asked just before we left and I was told they took it around and shared it with vendors. No complaints here, but I would have liked to get a taste of that. Haven't seen one of those in forever!

 

Yeah they opened it while I was standing there and they just started sharing it with other vendors. Very nice of them.

 

Wheeling. Bubba's/Muncie Liquors.

 

No offense your story is completely false.. I bought like 6 from there at 9.99 Thursday and there was only one left after I got mine that afternoon and when I went in Friday around 2pm it was gone. .. He has no more and the whole time it was 9.99$..

But the friendly package on wheeling still has 20 bottles.. All 19.99 before tax!

 

Awesome event. My stomach will hate me for it but I don't care. Caleb's presentation was interesting, particularly his surprisingly candid Q&A session.

 

Sun King is open until 5 on Saturdays. Used to only be open until 4 but added an hour last summer.

 

Yet they are closed on Sundays...

 

Guess My triton alarm isn't going off. Missed both of these

 

Is Sun King supposed to be open on Sunday? It's not a bar or brewpub.

There were a handful of other stations pouring random bottles...Jolly Pumpkin, Lindemans, Ommegang, Monks Cafe, Petrus, Fantome, more New Belgium etc.

Extremely easy going event. Not overcrowded, and besides a few bottle openings no crazy lines or mad rushes to get anything. Wish Perennial brought a little more, but talking to Cory about his future barrel aging program is sounding pretty exciting.
Gotta say, being able to get pours of Blackberry Lambic and SR3 almost the entire day was amazing.

 

VIP got batch 2 sour Reserve
