Pretty exciting to get to try Founders Bolt Cutter. Wonder if the Troegs Splinter Black is the from the last batch which I found a bit lackluster. Have fun people that are going.

 

is this real? I just made a mess

 

Went to the 1st PfP Rare Beer Tasting. Awesome event sandwiched between 2 sessions of GABF. By far the Rare Beer tasting was the highlight of my trip. Nothing against GABF but the accessibility to the brewers, the 1 offs and vintage beers and the swag that comes with it were great. Also, never had to wait in line for a beer. I would pay 100.00 no problem if I made the trip out this year, better lineup of beers compared to my home town event, SAVOR and the 120.00 ticket.

 

It's what was emailed me.

 

from? I haven't gotten an email...

 

didn't mean to doubt... it's confirmed... here's a link

http://allaboutbeer.com/daily-pint/...ver-rare-beer-tasting-iv-beer-list-announced/

 

It's from Rick Lyke as part of Pints for Prostates. I'm on a bunch of random marketing lists because of my blog. Dunno how I got on them but sometimes they have useful info so I just ignore them when I don't care.

edit: Yep that link is the exact text from the email I got.

 

I'm really geeked for this now

 

Some of these beers dont seem all that rare, I have bottles of them in my fridge that I bought off the shelf

 

I agree in that the local breweries need to kick it up a notch...I've had and have Uncle Jacob's, Deconstruction, etc. But there are quite a few awesome brews here. Can't wait.

 

This. Some beers get me really excited and others are a huge let down.

 

$100 for a few hours with Kate the Great. One just made their money back.

 

I'm wondering if the Deconstruction is the original batch and not the one from this year. That one's a whole different animal.

 

Wow, looks great. Anticipation is building.

 

Apple Brandy Hunaphu vs. Kate the Great hmmmmm

 

ktg.
