    Stayed at the western inn in tillamook for the anniversary party and took a cab back. Pacific City taxi is run by 1 guy and he says he normally is running back and forth for de Garde parties. Highly recommend him, very nice guy. Call him up prior because he gets slammed, try and share a ride if going to same place.

    I'm not, but that doesn't stop me from shooting off my mouth sometimes. You do you, man. :slight_smile:

    Does anyone know if bottle sharing will be allowed at De Garde on Saturday?

    de Garde got rid of the bottle share table at their parties, so I'd assume the same thing would apply for Zwanze.

    Typically they don't mind too much if you bring a bottle or 2 in to share as long as they open it for you.

    That being said, it would be a total cluster at Zwanze. Best to save it for the hotel after, and enjoy all the great beers they'll have.

    I didn't even bother lining up either Sunday. Didn't sound like a fun way to spend a couple beautiful weather September mornings. Gonna hit Fremont for the KDS vertical and then go home and drink a Loon in my garage.

    Didn't get tickets to Slow Boat, so I'm drinking lambic in my garage.

    Everyone should drink lambic in their garage. Make Garage Lambic Great Again.

    If I live in an apartment building should I set up a chair and brown bag it in the garage? I hate apartment buildings... need to get out of Seattle where it's actually affordable to live and have some space

    Cold and wet here at dG, but that appears to have kept no one away. Waits for a pour in the tasting room are running right at half an hour. Turns out they did a bottle release after all today. Currently to go offerrings include the special rouge, kriek, purple kriek, petit kriek and the saison melange #3.

    Come drink in mine!

    (I do feel super fortunate to have a garage and a driveway in Seattle, btw)

    Had a fantastic time at De Garde's Zwanze festivities. Shout out to the dude from Colorado that shared some of his b1 broken truck with me, that was a treat. Enjoyed all the cantillon beers on, especially the kriek.

    Now im ending the night back at my airbnb on the beach with a glass of Jester King Atrial. Great day.

    I chugged two bottles at Holy Mountain from their Zwanze release (both are mindblowing), then hung out in my garage for solidarity.
