pre SAVOR events/happenings

Follow DCBeer on FB and Twitter; they'll have the most complete list of SAVOR Week events.

 

I'll be down there for the event Saturday. Definitely looking to join if anything is going on.

 

RFDs just posted their event, I went last year and it was pretty amazing.

Can you post more about the lineup served last year? Pondering picking up a ticket myself.

 

I'm looking for the list I have somewhere of what was served, here's the list of people that came.
Ken Grossman of Sierra Nevada
Kim Jordan of New Belgium
Tomme Arthur of Port Brewing/LostAbbey
Sam Calagione of Dogfish Head (bailed at the last minute for the opening of his rooftop collaboration with Mario Battali in NYC, Dogfish still had beers at the event and had a guy from the brewery there)
Rob Tod of Allagash
Bill Madden of MadFox
Nick Funnel of Sweetwater

 

Churchkey posted this up. I can't tell what day this will be, but sounds like it'll be the Monday before SAVOR?

Here is Churchkey's lineup of events leading up to Savor. I'll be in DC for business from Monday to Thursday staying at Helix down the street, so if anyone would like to meet up for a few drinks, I'd be up for that.

I'm definitely going this year. I've been to the last two Re-Unulions at RFD/Brickskellar and they were both fantastic.

From my notes from last year, I believe the list was as follows:

• Allagash Avance
• Allagash Little Big Beer
• Dogfish Head Pangaea
• Dogfish Head Immort Ale
• Sweetwater Tavern High Desert Imperial Stout
• Sweetwater Tavern Midnight Rider Black IPA
• Port Brewing Anniversary Ale
• Port Brewing Mongo
• Mad Fox Orange Whip
• Mad Fox Slobberknocker
• New Belgium Lips of Faith--Berliner Weisse
• New Belgium Lips of Faith--Vrienden
• Sierra Nevada 30th Anniversary Grand Cru
• Sierra Nevada / Dogfish Head Life and Limb

I don't have the exact list from the year before, but I recall an older Stone Vertical (maybe 05.05.05?), New Belgium Le Fleur Misseur, Dogfish Head Namaste, and Sierra Nevada Charlie, Fred and Ken's Bock.

 

Appreciate that list! Looks well worth the price tag. How big were the pours?

If I could tag along with any BA's attending the event, I'd really appreciate it- I don't know anyone here.

 

I'll be at the Sierra Nevada, Blue Jacket and Founders event at ChurchKey. Keep an eye out and come say hi.

 

All of those Church Key events look good. If I have to choose one it will probably be the Blue Jacket/CCB/Funky Buddah event.

 

Also, both Dogfish were aged, from '08 I believe? And the Life and Limb was barrel aged too

 

Unless something better comes up, I'll be at all of them. I'd like to do a cool beer dinner at some point during the week, but until better options pop up, I'm at Churchkey Mon-Thur night.

 

My plan's to go to Churchkey on Mon and Thurs night, and RFD (about to go buy my ticket) for their event. Strong likelihood of calling in Fri...

 

I thinking about hitting up the shorts event. Looking forward to trying more of their creative brews.
