Zwanze Day 2013

Huh, that looks like it could be the day I land in Europe, we were thinking Sweden. Zwanze day at Akkurat would be pretty sweet...

 

The infamous amphora lambic? Arrrgh I want so bad

 

gopickitupformebroplease?

 

Pick what up? Akkurat can't sell anything to go, last I checked.

 

it was a bad joke

 

I always seem to be working on Zwanze day, so I need someone to old-school mule it for me, shady hand filled growler style.

 

A stout from Cantillon? Have they even ever attempted a beer other than gueuze or lambic? All of the listings on BA point to no.

 

Yes, Zwanze 2010 is a wild ale based on a witbier. I still have a bottle of it in my cellar.

What all is involved in this?

 

Oh damnit, not Churchkey again. That didn't work last time. I don't know why it would work this time.

 

A cluster fuck of beer geek humanity.

and some pretty good beer

 

Ha, I figured. So this is their Zwanze release...do you have to get tickets? Is it just to purchase the beer? I know nothing about this as of yet.

 

In the calendar!

 

Here's the official thread from last year which may help

http://beeradvocate.com/community/threads/zwanze-day-2012-official-thread.44317/

 

What was the problem, beyond the normal issues most places face of having more geeks showing up than there are places to put them?

 

Looks like a quick trip to Lord Hobo could be in order before Belgian Beerfest....that place is going to be nuts with all the beer geeks in town.

Last year at Spuyten Duyvil was an amazing time, and I thought they handled it very well.

 

Holy.......shit.

 

Hush, no one needs to know the birch is gonna be doing that. Its all for me!! hahahaha well I guess the VCBS crew can join. no one else will like it anyways I will bite the bullet and drink as much as I can so you dont have to
