    It could be the Ten Buck Chuck Collab with Chuck SIlva

    Per their Instagram post on the Venice Beach location, botles of XX available this Saturday. My question is, has the final blend even been announced?

    XX Anniversary Ale bottle release at the Venice Brewery Store this Saturday, October 29th at noon! Limit four bottles of XX per person, $23.99 plus tax & CRV each. We'll also have it available on draft at the Propagator

    Has anyone been to Barrelworks this week....wondering if El Gourdo & Feral Peach...are available in the fridge? I'm hoping to swoop up some on my way this weekend for XX .

    • Special Collaboration Bottle Release available for purchase … more details as the event gets closer!
    The event is in 3 days, how much closer will it be until details are posted?

    Pretty far off-topic, but has anyone had Maltose Falcons recently? I'm sitting on my last bottle, not because I think it needs more age, but because I can't stand to see it go... but a confirmed report of it declining would definitely motivate me.

    We're turning 20... & you're joining us!
    This Saturday, Oct. 29th we'll be turning 20 & celebrating with some of our favorite people, this includes you! Are you ready for some vintage Anniversary Ales? How about Parabajava? Or perhaps one of the four collaboration beers we're pouring, two of which have never been offered to the public before!

    Oh, what about that mystery bottle sale you heard about? Our lips are sealed, but we don't think you'll be disappointed.

    Well.. what'd you think? Personally kinda let down by the line up.. no monkee, helldorado merkin etc. Space felt pretty crowded. Liked last years much much more.. could drink all the 805 you wanted lol..

    It was a total let down !

    None of the special beers like last year, were available. The mystery bottle...wasnt good. I couldn't finish my pour of it. Let alone the idea of buying it.

    On the upside I used photo booth a few times, the scotch glass was sweet, food was tasty, Got a free hat and bottle opener.

    Otherwise...it was disappointing.

    I would of thought a 20th anniversary would be "special". It wasn't.

    Agree. Been to 4 of these and have always looked forward to the event every year. This year's was a total let down. Long confusing lines, no special beers, not the chill event like in the past.

    Seems all the Vintage stuff was lumped together and the line was really long and non-descript with Parabola, Parabajava, XVI, XVII, XVIII, XIX were all at the same station. Maltose Falcon was with a couple other collaboration brews. XX was being poured at it's own station.

    Probably should have done multiple lines/stations, splitting Parabola/Parabajava off to one side and the past Aniversary beers to another area. But then again, it was a long L shaped space of the wrap around parking lot, so hard to plan that out.

    They definitely had more variety last year.
