de garde society

+1 for being on board with adjusting the bottle limits. As one of the many people who've waited hours in line for a HoTD release, just to wind up with some chunky Otto instead of what I came for, I'm all for a little extra precaution to give me a better chance of getting some bottles.

Obviously the event is bigger than what was originally anticipated, and they're making the necessary adjustments to try and make sure more people leave their brewery happy. Cheers to Trevor and the De Garde crew for trying to plan the best event possible. Looking forward to meeting some Northwest BA's tomorrow.

Did The Lily ever get tapped today?

 

The rumor was that the keg actually got stolen.

Anyway, the Imperial Vin Bu completely stole the show. I think we bought 4 or 5 glasses of it alone just between me and the GF. So glad I bought 3 Keepers memberships right now.

Thanks to Trevor and Lindsey for another great event!

 

top-notch releases yesterday from two top-notch breweries. the whole day was an absolute blast and it's always nice to have some great beer with a group of awesome people. A++ all around, thanks to Trevor and Linsey and Nick for kicking ass!

 

We hope everyone had as good of a time as we did. Our apologies for the longer than anticipated/desired lines. We'll try to make some changes to expedite the process for bottles and draft next time.
Thanks to Engine House #9, Block 15 and Black Raven for the awesome guest brew, and to everyone who came out. We'll look forward to the next release in a month or two, and the next Keepers release and 'kickoff' party following not long after.
Cheers!

 

Wait, a release in a month or two? I thought I would have at least a quarter to recover and prepare!

Might have to spend the night in Tillamook.....

 

As long as there's not a Block 15 release again on the same day, I think I'll be okay... these double release days are tough though.

Also, no having the Keeper's party during May 9-31, okay? I will be sad if I miss it.

 

Is De Garde distributed in Bend? Heading down there for President's Day weekend...

 

Occasional draft and less frequent bottles. Best places to check are BTBS, Platypus, and Crow's Feet Commons. Have not seen bottles at WF or other grocery stores. If the brewery wishes to make it more frequent, I would love that.

 

I figured it would be somewhere like Platypus or Broken Top, if anywhere. Thanks.

 

It's extra rad inside, and the airplane collection is top-notch. Many are still in flying condition, and unlike most such museums, you can walk right up to all of them. Highly recommended to anyone who digs aviation or history.

 

How do you get a hold of degarde? I need to switch my membership to another name

 

BA, Facebook, their website... there are myriad options

 

If they get any more popular they're going to have to rent that hanger for future events.

 

I'd be happy with a porta-potty or two!

 

Nearby restaurant would be nice
