Visiting Tillamook (Fall 2015 update)

Not totally, maybe just sharing a dG beer next time you are in Eugene for the idea*

*admitadely stolen from others in this thread who can bargain for there own compensation...

 

Anyone hit the Petit celebration on Saturday? Thoughts on The Truffle? My clamgun was in the shop, and I didn't want to go out there unprepared.

 

Yeah, this. I wasn't able to make it out for it either, but am driving down this weekend to hopefully snag any Petit leftovers (hopefully?). The Truffle sure sounds interesting.

 

It is very Broken Trucky. Very subtle Truffle flavor, I would assume because they didn't want to pay $35,000 for the amount that would be needed to really stand out (which I am totally cool with, the subtle hint of it made the beer just...funky. loved it)

 

I 100% agree and think this is a method prefered by many of their regulars. I was abke to get tickets fir a few of my long time trade partners who have been to multiple parties already. It really shouldn't have been to hard for out of towners to get tix if they had any kind of relationship with someone who frequents degarde, and my buddy couldnt be more stoked to have gotten tickets. I cant wait for this party, and believe the owners truly go out of tgere way to support their customers! Cheers to you guys!

 

I'll second this - had some friends in Washington call some friends in Portland (who, as far as I know, had never been to the brewery), who were able to run out and grab us tickets for the Sunday event. I've never been, but am beyond excited!

 

Unfortunately for us loners and worker bees that couldn't drive down to the land of cow poo and cheese we're struggling for tickies. If anyone has one for reelzies hit me up! I've been to almost every party and don't want to miss all of your beautiful faces. I'll snag you some Holy Mountain ;-)

 

OMG Berry Bu is back tomorrow..one of my favs. If anyone can snag me 2 bottles I will give cash and thank you beer..no way I can go out there this weekend.

 

I'm getting excited about the de Garde anniversary party! I think I remember reading in here there are a couple local cab companies. Is it generally hard getting one after the party? We are staying at the Western Inn, I'm fine walking back but with a case of heavy beer I don't think its possible.

I served grand blanc, saison melange, and saison melange no 3 at my wedding last weekend in NC and everybody loved the beer which I guess shouldnt be too big a surprise.

 

pretty sure the western inn to degarde is a solid 5 mile walk, so with or without beer it may be a struggle lol.

 

I would not recommend walking back. In fact, I would strongly recommend against it. I would rather fall asleep in the muddy grass outside the brewery and drive back to the hotel several hours later after sobering up.

 

Hello @deGardebrewing,

Back in July, you said that new batches of Bu Weisse were "minimum six months out".

I've been keeping an eye on your chalkboard... Did I miss it? If not, do you have an estimate of when it might be available again?

Thanks.

 

haha. I really don't mind walking long distances unless it's pouring down rain. Although that big, flat open land would make it seem like you aren't covering any ground

I just called up Pacific Taxi and sounds they said they normally just hang out at de Garde shuttling back and forth those days so it sounds like it should be pretty easy getting a ride. The guy sounded extremely nice (owner, not sure of the name).

Definitely am not planning on driving. I want to enjoy as many fine beers as I wish without getting hammered and without having to worry about driving buzzed/drunk.

See some of you there!

 

... and maybe in cans? Pretty please?

 

Until Trevor shows up, how about some baseless speculation?

The last time Petit Desay was bottled, both it and Bu Weisse were advertised as being the first batch out of some foeders/puncheons/other large vessels. Assuming those vessels were refilled around the same time, perhaps the recent release of Petit Desay bottles is a good omen and the Bu just took a little longer to be "ready" this time?

 

Saw some people posting about broken truck 2...any info?

 

Sold out yesterday 21 cases in a few hours.

 

I was told it was on-premise only. They sold 21 cases for on-premise consumption? Unless @leftoverburrito was just trying to avoid the inevitable gopickitupformebro requests...

 

Holy crap, they sold 21 cases to be drank on site yesterday! 250 bottles! Pretty impressive

 

On premise at de Garde, cases were at Tin Bucket.
