Central Waters 15th Anniversary Party

Proof that I am but a slave to the community in moving picture form.

You're all WELCOME for this sort of real-time dedication. Ingrates.

Side note: to the BA I talked with in the video who had a bottle of The Wanderer- shoot me a BM. Still interested.

 

ah yes, the benefit of living a two minute walk from Sugar Maple--saw the benefit posters in the window when I was there drinking Hopslam tonight

 

Do you know around what time this will be going down?

Whoops nevermind, didn't think to look at their Facebook page.

 

Good beer and a good cause? Beechwood cellar beers for auction? Fifteen on tap? I'm in!!!

 

We were not the 1st in line at that hour of the morning Fred it was sarcasm. We ended up getting there around 1:30pm and landed somewhere around 25th in line. We met some great BAs in line and a whole lot more throughout the night. I did have a bottle disappear but we located it with enough for one taste left...I don't blame whoever took it since so many of us were just leaving bottles on tables and expecting people to open them and try them. The blue grass music was awesome and the bbq sandwich with slaw was fantastic!! I got to meet one the owners, Paul, when I was looking for garbage bags to throw all the empty bottles in from the bottle share tables where they were starting to pile up and fall. He seemed really cool and really busy. This is like any other big anniv party where you see how it goes and then next year you try to tweak any problem spots. I am confident this can only get bigger and better. Cheers to all the CW employees who worked so hard to put on this party for all to come and enjoy. Cya next year!

 

I'm including a bottle in a raffle for a good cause if anyone missed out or are ISO. Details on my profile.

 

Not sure if anyone saw this or not, TonyTalon posted it on his FB page....



Slow it down to .25x, if you are trying to spot somebody.

 

Lansman = #1. Looks like Noah from Local Option was nice enough to post this on YouTube for everyone. Thrash on and remember "Shit beer will kill you"

 

I'm here to complain a bit! I'm sorry, but I've been keeping an eye on the reviews for 15, and they are fantastic. My beef is, out of the 5 reviews posted, three of them state they are from the Anniversary Party...Poured into an 8 oz plastic cup, drank in a dimly lit brewery, probably with a less than fresh palate. Just a quick rant, and this isn't an attack on any of you reviewers. I feel a beer such as this deserves the time taken to let this beer open up over time, the proper glassware to accentuate the nose, take proper time to evaluate the appearance. Sure these reviews to blast the trading value into another dimension, but ultimately it waters down the quality of the reviews here on BA, and saddens me personally. /end rant.

 

Anyone know who posted this? I think it's shitty they don't have the balls to say who they are.

Oh look, there I am.

 

I saw a lady bring two babies in at the 2:28 mark. That's badass

 

Yup, she absolutely did bring both the little ones to the festivities that evening, a welcome sight, imho. I rubbed the youngest's head personally later that night while they stood in line (after Mom granted permission, of course). Pretty sure that's me at 1:28 on the way out with my haul, plus Lobo's, (that box is only 2/3rds full, btw, 4 each ((haters refrian from hating)). Though I do have doubts that's actaully me... pretty sure I am better looking... maybe it's the poor quality camara.

 

Someone who needs to get over the fact that they missed out on a beer because the weren't prepared enough. As far as BA handles go, no I don't know who it is.

 

the link was posted as a comment on my beer blog anonymously last night, not sure who wrote it though. however, the IP looks to be the same as another comment complaining about how the event was "a massive failure." hmmmm...

 

Well, what's worth creating a blog post that no one will read, or posting 3 extremely whiny, BA posts that the brewery and many others will read...Haters gonna hate.

 

The bottle share was great??? I had an 09 olde rabbits foot, '10 blackbeerd, '12 peruvian morning, and two '13 bbbw stolen. My friend had a 15 stolen. People were walking in randomly drinking beers that had no affiliation with the bottle share.. and on top of that, i had to use my cell phone app, "brightest flashlight" to read the labels on the bottles. That bottle share was bullshit

 

Let me add... regardless of the bullshot and being shut out and having multille bottles stolen... the shuttle to and frlm the hotel was a huge act of generosity and was really the decidjng factor of whether or not we were going to come.

 

Sorry to hear you had the misfortune of having something stolen from you. I always play defensive at these events just for that reason... 98 percent of the guests are good people, but I really don't think it's a good idea to leave personal belongings laying around in any public place, especially one with many drunk people. I'd be happy to replace your two 13 BBBW, but that's the best I can do. Cheers!

 

Take that, rare!!!
