    Hi everybody. Beer week starts in just a couple of days.

    What events are you guys looking to go to? What are some things that we should look out for, and special beers showing up into the area?

    Hope to see a few of you guys at some events, cheers.

    Hey Abel -- I don't think I'll make it up there this time around. I'll send my bro-in-law to some events as my proxy.

    hopefully we can pop a bottle on my next trip north

    Definitely. Maybe I can make chili again too.

    I'm definitely excited about the new SN beers. Looks like there are tons of events that will have them, but I'm not sure when or where I'm going.

    There are a few events I hope to go to, probably a couple of tastings at the Nugget and I saw a couple of cool SN/Firestone events. Like the OP, I'm wondering if there will be any rare beers floating around this week...

    I'm working this weekend which kinda sucks but I'll probably be going to the funk and sour fest at Samuel Horne's Tavern. And one night I'll probably head to the Yardhouse for some of the special things they have on tap.

    I'm going to the sourfest in Folsom. Going to try to make it to Extreme Pizza Saturday for aged Nixie also.

    Tonight Art of Beer
    Tomorrow Shack for Sierra Nevada Pints
    Saturday Capital Beerfest (pouring and roaming for Gold Country Brewers) & Extreme Pizza for Nixie (after 11 sometime)
    Sunday BFD Swapmeet & maybe Boulder Brewing at Dad's
    Wed - Devere's for Sucaba and FW, plus Burgers & Brew for Allagash
    Thursday - Firkin at Rubicon (event was great last year)
    Friday - Hot City Hops (maybe)
    Saturday - Brewday at Lockdown and may be sneak off to Sam's

    I love Pangaea to death, but am afraid that place is just going to be packed to the brim. It's always packed on Thursdays and Fridays.

    Looks like a few events might have potential but I'm not sure...

    Pangea can shove it, I don't like their pricing for bottles or events.

    You down for Folsom next Saturday again?

    Their bottle prices suck the big D. I didn't think any of their events I listed had a price do they? Just a show up and pay for a pour of whatever? I have never been to one of their events so I can't speak to that - but I will never buy a bottle there even if I want to as bad as something I want really bad.

    Ridiculous that Pangea is combining Younger with some 90's R&B dude and charging 40 bucks, which was originally priced at 70 on the website. Why not show Sacramento some beer love and just charge a normal price, and have people enjoy your shop. I might actually be a repeat customer.

    I am under the impression that Pangea hates us. I am chilling at the Davis Beer Shoppe drinking some great beer, and paying fair prices. I love their selection, the prices, and the staff. I feel welcomed here, not wallet *****.

    I was there earlier today for some awesome no-name IPA and gotta give some love to Taylor, he's doing it right down there in Davis. I met Nick too, he said he's been coming to your bottle shares, I gotta hit up your next bottle share.

    I'll keep you posed bro.

    This no name IPA is so stupid and nasty that I am only 3rd pint.

    I didn't remember that no name ipa to be so cloudy when I had it a week or two ago. Sure tasted right tho. They'll post the name on FB tomorrow. Sorry I got to the party late and missed you guys.
