Fieldwork appreciation thread

Chaos Emeralds was indeed awesome. Creamy and crushable. Saint Thomas was rather green/resiny. The last keg blew just as they started filling one of my growlers. The other is Eastside Motel which I'll be opening shortly.

 

Had Saint Thomas at Beer Revolution today and it was awesome. There are few if any all Mosaic IPAs I'd prefer over this one.

Re: the new location, my friend said it was going to be Walnut Creek as if it had already been announced.... Is that not the case?

 

It is not official, but all signs lead to somewhere in San Ramon or Walnut Creek.

 

Looks like they’re ready to spoil us, two can releases and a couple new IPAs on draft over the weekend:




And I was just starting to run low on cans, too…

 

Sorry, it's a new IPA (22 Amarillo Ave) and a new sour (De Colores).

No Instagram embeds for those lest people think they're also can releases…

 

I'm trying really hard not to buy any more cans until beer week, but Pulp is sooooo tempting.

 

I am in the same boat. So many cans of IPA & DIPA in the beer fridge right now.

But there is no way I can resist at least a 4 pack of PULP...haha.....

 

Seriously. My thoughts exactly.

 

Same , maybe I'll trade a couple of next weeks cellarmaker cans for a couple pulp.

 

Well, anyone holding out before might get pushed over the line by a triple release, and a non-IPA to boot.

I know I'm going to be stocking the work fridge with all of these…

 

I was hoping for a Friday release since I am downtown in Sac M-F. Oh well, doubt I will get back on Saturday.

Probably just get a growler of Pulp if it is still on tap next week.

 

Punted on Pulp for Holy Hermit release today. Good problems to have, too many good beer options 4 the Superbowl

 

For reference, last year they did 7 releases for beer week.

IPAs (4): Pulp, King Citra, Tundra, Hazy Train
Dark Stuff (3): Viking's Lament, BA Eliza, Coconut

So far they've teased Viking's Lament and Wax. But I could see them doing fewer releases than the previous year. The Superbowl happened to be during beer week last year. And they also hadn't done a release in over two weeks.

 

Ah man, I was really hoping for a Friday release too! Guess I'll grab a pint or two of Pulp next week. I miss the weekday releases...

 

yep Saturday wrecks me too. Deciding on either Bike Dog or New Glory for tonight - both have can releases

 

Do can releases at Bike Dog stick around for a few days, or do they sell out the day they are released? I'm stopping by tomorrow and was hoping to pick up a couple of cans.

 

I think you'll be ok. I got a 4 pack of each. They have 2 locations.

 

Anyone in SJ going today wanna do a ip trade? Just looking for a couple pulp and a tundra. I'll have cellarmaker cans Tuesday

 

Their IG says all cans are sold out. Anyone know if that means Berkeley or all locations?

 

I'm pretty sure Berkeley's sold out or close to it. I stopped by two times, once at noon and another time at 1, and both times there were lines so I didn't bother sticking around. When I stopped in at 1, I was told that the supply of cans were close to gone.
