De Garde Brewing Bottle Release & Tasting Room

Left work 4 hours early grab one (unnecessary since I got there 40 minutes before they opened), but I got a bottle of Lee Noir! Thanks for the tip.

 

You were the folks down at the right end of the bar? Damn, I've totally gotten out of the habit of asking the beer folks I meet if they're on BeerAdvocate. Good chatting with you.

 

Ha, sure were! I'm guessing you were the couple sitting right next to us then? Good chatting with you guys as well!

 

Portland Bottle Shop had bottles of Lee Noir as of last night. There was 6 on the shelf.

 

Any chance the bottles being released this saturday might make it to somewhere in Portland? My friend wants to get a couple, but can't make it to Tillamook due to being a new dad.

 

The ones with larger bottle counts, maybe. But I don't see any of the Imperial Bu Weisses being left at the end of the day tomorrow.

 

Morningwood was the one he mentioned first, but with bottle amounts under 200, I don't think it'll make it to him. Guess I'll keep an eye out here and on social media to see if by some miracle they do make it to Portland. Thanks for the reply though.

 

Was going to try and make it, but the last thing Oregon needs is a Texan trying to drive over a mountain pass in weather this cold. Everyone going have fun, and if any Bend BA's make it back with some bottles, I've got some Jester King stuff to share in exchange.

 

Was coming out for this from Seattle but the kid got sick and have to stick around. If anyone going is willing to trade / paypal and help me out I would be eternaly greatful. Bbomb, KDS, Crooked Stave Reserve beers are a few of the things I have. Been wanting to get out to De Garde for months now....oh well, next time. Enjoy the event guys!!

 

They were gone by the time me and my lady went back after grabbing some lunch, although the raspberry and boysenberry versions were still available on tap into the late afternoon (no growlers). The blackberry wasn't on tap, unfortunately, but oh man that boysenberry was amazing stuff...

 

Anyone going to tomorrows release want to pick up some bottles for me? I am working and can't make it out there for this. BM me if you are interested in helping me out. I am only looking for 2 bottles total. Cheers!
