Firestone Walker Invitational Beer Fest 2015

Adelaide - "Grassy Knoll' and "Pool" area. Friday and Saturday. Look for the geeks. Bring bottles to share.

 

I typically use the event as a sobering up period.

 

This. Pretty good/plenty of food, with some free beer to wash it down and recharge before the next bottleshare.

 

Last year I did as a lot of beer ran out and the lines were reasonably long. The years before it was more of a main event. This year I'm getting sidelined by a friend's wedding, but was otherwise very seriously considering not going to the festival at all in favor of the bottleshares.

 

Last year the pool share started several hours before the grass knoll started. The pool party got shutdown before the grassy knoll. Both ares are a fantastic vibe although different.

 

Anyone seen a beer list? Know the last few years they waited til the day before but breweries had to submit by 4/6 this year.

 

Yesterday, Side Project tweeted about the things they are sending. But I haven't seen a list from anyone else.

Some of our beer is on a truck heading west for the @FirestoneWalker #FWIBF15!! La Fosse, Thicket, du Fermier, Unlabeled #2 ...

 

Not sure if Green Flash has sent out anything but we are sending East Village Pilsner, Coffee Silva, Natura Morta with Blueberry, Sour Blond aged in American Oak Red Wine Barrels, and either Cherry Flanders or White IPA aged in Chardonnay Barrels. So there you go.

 

This is an awesome start already.

 

I'm hoping the app they are advertising will give us some of that information. Who knows though.

They said about 3-4 days ago to expect the app to be available in two weeks.

 

I will be cancelling my room at the Motel 6 in like a minute so a room for 2 nights might become available there if anyone is still looking

 

Anyone driving up from SD thinking of carpooling? Shoot me a message - gas money and good times guaranteed

 

I'm down with that.

 

my body is ready

 

Holy crap! Can't wait

 

Wow. Hopefully the Dark Lord variant/s won't be held until a certain release time or it's going to be insane.

 

I bet they will be timed.

 

Does anyone know how many tickets were sold for the event?

 

Not attending FWIBF, but I'm driving up the Central Coast the day after the party. Is it just a normal day at the brewery on Sunday? Potential sloppy seconds of festival scraps?
