Societe Brewing 1st anniversary

I know of a Alpine Brew Co. But Alpine is Alpine Beer Co. Nothing wrong with calling it ABC! Back in the days I was calling it Alpine Brewing Co. And I would get several messages from Pat telling me it's not Brewing but Beer. I love my Alpine beers. I love my San Diego IPA's.

 

I think I first posted a message on their website on Monday and then emailed them Tuesday. They responded after my second email, which was yesterday.

Steven from the tasting room just had me give the names of those who weren't going and the names of those who are. He said he would take care of the rest. I just scratched the old names out and wrote the new ones in.

 

This is kind of random, but does anyone going to the early Sat. session have an extra bottle of System of a Stout they'd like to trade for a 4-pack of Heady, less than two weeks old?

 

hope to see some folks at the Saturday 5-8 or Sunday 5-8 sessions this weekend...

 

No reports?

 

They are still hung over.

 

I was at the early session yesterday and I thought it was awesome. Well organized, no real line after the first rush when everyone checked in growlers for fills. You ordered your growler fills and paid, they gave you a ticket and you picked up your order at the end of the session. It wasn't oversold and it was well staffed. During the initial rush there were 6 or 7 people pouring 2 dealing with growlers orders and the other 4 or 5 only filling glasses. Roustabout was just as good as the first round. $30 was the perfect price point for three hours. at a nice relaxing pace I had seven 8 oz. 2 each of the Scrapper, Roustabout and Bachelor-Mosaic and finished the day with a Publican. Growler fills of Roustabout and The Butcher were $22 and limit 1 per person. I had to have a name changed on a ticket and Schmaltzy's advice and it went flawlessly.

 

I was at yesterdays early session too and had a great time. First time visiting and i will be going back alot more. Highlight of the day besides the beers themselves was Getting a tour of the brewery from Doug himself. really cool guy and very informative about everything. couldnt have asked for a better time .

 

Every Man's on tap?

 

Went to the early Saturday session and thought it was great - as usofar said, the only real line was when everyone got in and was getting their growlers/first pours, and even then it dissipated in a matter of minutes. The crowd size was good, probably wouldn't want to have many more people in there but they managed it well. I can't really think of any complaints or even much that I would change - it was a good value, good crowd size, great beers. I'm looking forward to some sour releases, but even without the sour program, they're crushing it.

Also, good to meet you, Miruguy, always good to put a face to a name.

Edit: Also, a major cheers to Doug and Travis - both were doing tours and pouring beers at various times, but still seemed to be every where at once and available to chat.

 

It was not. I don't think Every Man's was even listed on the anniversary shirt (from what I could see from 10 ft. away so don't take my word for it). I asked them about it once and they were pretty cagey about it and whether it would ever come back. From what I was told, it sounded like they either didn't like it or simply don't want to ever brew it again.

 

Everyman's was listed on the shirt - not sure whether we will ever see it again...
