What the Funk!? GABF 2014

Side Project - Grisette, du Ble, Blueberry Flanders

Rare Barrel- On The Shoulders of Giants, Cosmic Dust, Consigliere, and Fields Forever

 

All you need to know is that there will be a ton of awesome beers. This is the third one now, and both of the previous ones had an absolutely fantastic list. Rather than trying to find out what, I would just be excited to be going and wait to see what goodies they bring

 

I still have 2 extra tickets if anyone is looking (posted in Ticket forum), send me a BM if you're looking.

 

Have been fortunate to fly in for both myself. I am well aware how great a show they put on. A little information and pre-planning never hurt anyone

Special thanks to the super sleuths so far on the thread who have been providing the info!

 

Firestone Walker pouring Agrestic & Bretta Weisse.

 

...yup..

 

sorry, wasn't exactly keeping score on this thread.

in other news, Firestone Walker will be pouring Agrestic & Bretta Weisse. so there's that...

 

What's Firestone Walker bringing?

 

I think Agrestic and Bretta Weisse, but don't quote me on that.

 

Don't tell me what to do!

 

Heard FW is bringing a couple of beers, any idea what they could be?

 

I don't think they've said what they're bringing yet.

 

Ah man, that's too bad. Hopefully they bring Agrestic and Bretta Weise, love those beers.

 

That's a direct quote from SteveO

 

Just heard that Firestone Walker is bringing Pivo Pils, Pale 31 and Oaktoberfest... WOW YOU GUYS!

 

I think the new format on booths/displays will make brewers think twice as to what and how many beers they bring. Those are good beers and probably a good move considering they are available on most CO shelves and many GABF patrons are not beer geeks, just plain ole peasants

 

Wait...this is WTF or the normal GABF? Not too many non-geeks going to WTF. There's also nothing "funky" about those three beers. Are we crossing streams, is that a joke, or are they really bringing those 3 beers to WTF? Firestone Walker has busted out their BA series beers at every major event I've seen them at.

 

@Domingo and @Mebuzzard - I got a bridge in Brooklyn I wanna sell ya...

 

It is becoming more and more common for breweries to phone in their beers at certain festivals (several big names had weak offerings for Rare Beer IV and V before attendees called them on it), so it's hard to tell what's real life sometimes.
