Central Waters 18th Anniversary Party

Just got an email from BPT. Its not a technical glitch. Tickets are long gone. Pretty salty about this. Super bummed, since I have supported this brewery year after year. Cheers!

 

I guess that's not an ironic username then...

 

CW said in the thread in the Great Lakes they sold as many tickets for 18 as they did 17.

Oh yea I have been to Four Peaks often, have to support our MN Brewers even if they're only from here. I returned to Wilderness, was there last Oct and enjoyed their food and drink much (tried their Barely Wine Barley Wine very tasty). Was hoping to get out to Gilbert to hit up Perch Pub out of curiosity (A Bird sanctuary and brewery!). Fate...never heard of it, well next trip, hoping to hit up some Spring Training out there in March.

 

What's the bottle share situation like at the Anniversary Party? On site or only at hotels and bars? Does anyone have any recommendations for the day, if any, outside of arriving at 3 and heading to the hotel at 9 and home the next morning? Will be my first time to CW. I've been getting their BA stuff that hits distro the last few years and then Black Gold blew me away this year, so I had to try getting to a release event. Cheers!

 

People do bottle share inside the event; however, there are too many good brews on tap and it's a little to crowded for my liking to be passing around bottles. There's plenty of time in the evening back at the hotel for me to bottle share with friends. The decision is all up to you.

 

This bears bolding & repeating. Of course bottle share if you like, but personally, I'll gorge myself on CW beers while I have the chance!

 

Starting to plan bottles for the weekend. Need something for Friday night.

 

Friday night bottle share I'm in. Something from St. Louis perhaps...

 

Bud Light!

 

Yes bud light! I will come riding up on a magical Clydesdale while holding an eagle.

 

Are package beer sales at the anniversary event cash only or can you use credit cards?

 

If memory serves me correctly, the last two years were cash only.

 

Black Gold was cash only, I'd assume the same for this

 

are you referring to the event bottles (in this case, 18) or to the bottles that you can buy to-go at the bar? sounds like you are asking about the to-go bottles.

event bottles (18) are cash only. cant speak for the bottles to-go, as i havent purchased them before.

 

Yeah, I am more concerned about the cases of BBBW and BBS I plan to pick up plus whatever other goodies they have for sale. I can manage cash for the allocations my wife and I will have for 18, but after no BBS hitting central Iowa shelves this year and very little BBBW last year I plan on stocking up at the anniversary party to help friends in the area and that could really add up.

 

Do they sell other bottles during the party?

 

Yes

 

They sell the anny brew at a different station than all of their regular stuff. Two different stands in different areas of the brewery so to speak.
