Bellingham Bottle Share 11/23

Got about 25 people confirmed, still got room for more though! Gonna be some fun stuff opened, people are digging deep into their cellars. If anyone's schedule has opened up, shoot me a message.

 

Kind of a "Last Call" bump here. If anyone's schedule/inclinations have changed, y'all are still welcome to come. 30+ folks confirmed, at least 7 breweries represented, and between me and a couple of friends, we've put together a vertical of 07-12 Abyss (I have a 06, but I'm be a bit greedy with that). If you're even thinking about coming, shoot me a message and I'll give ya details.

 

I've been meaning to post this, just haven't gotten around to it until now. The tasting went great! I'm guessing about 50ish folks were in and out over the course of the day. We ended up opening just about 100 containers (some folks brought growlers, and took the empties, some left the empties), everything from Rogue XS series 7ozers to 2 liter bottles and growlers. Some highlights were: the Brassneck brews brought by the BC contingent (@JonnyBeers and his friend Eric) that featured Grapemust in one, and cherries in the other, a fantastic homemade Raspberry cider by my friend Jenn, Yazoo Sue, Hibiscus IPA from Coronado, Valar Morhulis fom Ommegang, Funkwerks Saison, Tall Tale from Against The Grain, Saison Brett from Four Winds, and the Stars Of The Show, the 3 DeGarde brews generously provided by @vurt.

It went really well, some serious beer-nerds, and tons of casual beer lovers, made for a nice mix of folks. We've talked about doing it again next year, but maybe bumping it up a couple weeks. Would some of you out of towners be interested in maybe heading up if it were the first weekend of November? Saturday or Sunday?

Thanks to everyone who came, and who contributed. Cheers!
