It's the Port Brewing/The Lost Abbey 9th Anniversary Party. For the price of admission you recieve lunch from one of three food trucks, 8 tasters of beer including specialty kegs, access to purchase additional beers from our Vintage Case (on-site consumption only) and a 9th Anniversary glass for you to keep. See you then! http://shop.lostabbey.com/9th-annual-anniversary-party-p261.aspx So who's in? I will be at the morning session? I have not made it somehow to any of the previous one, which bottles do they usually have available for on premises consumption?
Keep in mind that any of the good beers are two tickets (or so it's been the last few years.) So basically 4 tasters and lunch for $25. meh
Thanks for the info. Yeah, that's quite weird especially with already low taster tickets amount. That's what interests me the most as well. I liked the selection at the pre-Stone breakfast, so if it's similar, I'm all in
Tasters are usually $5 for the rare stuff so that means $5 for lunch and access to the rare bottles. That's pretty solid actually. Not an amazing deal but not bad.
I was worried at first, but on the second thought, that would actually work just fine for me. I got the tickets for the morning session.
Last couple have been 1 ticket for 1 beer. Considering what they put on (and put in the bottle case) it's usually a pretty good deal
I think I went to the 5th one, and it was great. When I went to the 6th, all the good shit was two tickets, and it felt like a total ripoff. They really just want you there to buy "limited" bottles of Track beers. That's the way it felt, at least.
That time line sounds about right. My first was the 6th, and if they hadn't changed it back it probably would have been my last. But the past 2 have been solid, and well worth it. Honestly, it's hard to complain about paying $25 for 32oz of Angel's Share Grand Cru/Spontaneous Cheer (along with a taster glass and some food).
Amazing deal, tickets were 1 for 1 for everything. Had Double Cherry Cuvee de Tomme, Framboise de Ambrosia, Small Batch Sour, Red Poppy, Angel's Share Grand Cru and Regular Bourbon, Track #8 and #10, BB Santa's, Older Viscosity.
That double cherry CdT wasn't very good. I never thought I would say that beer has too much fruit, but this was totally the case. Framboise was great, the Small Batch Sour was super tasty (blend of that and Double Cherry was actually decent)...and of course DDG and V015 were drinking great. There were around 12 bottles each available, they let us in a little earlier, so I checked that the last 2 bottles of V015 sold out at 11am, DDG was gone a little before that.
