Bissell Brothers in NYC (April 29th-30th)

Im hoping everyone goes for The Alchemist and Lawsons and leaves the rest.

 

Haha yea, Ginger Man's instagram only has like 100 followers, so posting it on here makes it infinitely more visible. Not a great move.

 

to be fair they posted on Facebook too which has like 2800 likes

 

They posted it on their Facebook as well. Way more followers there.

 

Gotcha, I don't follow them either place so I didn't notice on Facebook, someone just referred me to the instagram photo. So maybe this doesn't add as much to the hype as I thought, but it still will.

Thinking about it more though, the Gingerman event has listed Alchemist for weeks, which pretty much means Heady and Focal since those are the only two beers they produce in any sizable amount right now. So a picture of them might not attract any more attention than listing the Alchemist already did.

 

This event was going to be a zoo Alchemist or no Alchemist. This just seals the deal.

 

Well yea, my point was Alchemist was always part of the event. The picture isn't really new info. I'm not a fan of Gingerman anyway so I was never planning on going, but yea. It will be packed because plenty of people will want to try Focal (and to a lesser extent, Heady, but I'm guessing most people have had it by now).

 

Agreed. Gingerman is typically too crowded for my liking on normal nights.

 

It's gonna be a shit show. What time do you think people will start lining up?

 

Sneak preview of Ginger Man on Sat:

 

It's impressive that you think people will be able to move around that much. Or at all.

 

Very true.

 

So, any news as to who else is going to be pouring Swish, and when?

 

ginger man, torst, jeffery, proletariat, blind tiger, and gold star. not sure exactly when but all between 29-30th as far as i know

 

Thanks! Was hoping for a closer idea of when and exactly what everyone has, but I guess we'll find out soon!

 

I would drink all that Modern Times--you guys enjoy that Swish. Love that west coast malt!

 

Looks like the earliest tapping is 420 at the Jeffrey. Was hoping to grab some during lunch...

 

Looks like Gingerman removed Live Oak, and Bacchus from their event. Kinda disappointing was hoping to try the Live Oak Hefe.

 

Anyone know anything about when Gold Star is doing their event and what kegs they'll have?

 

Opted to hit up Ginger Man for lunch today instead of going to tomorrow's craziness. Chilled out with a Hill Farmstead Susan.
