Stone Oakquinox list up

Interesting to see Fruet on the draft list, considering The Bruery made a point of saying that the ten 4th anniversary parties they did in May would be the only places to receive kegs. Technically, one of the parties was at Stone so it's still only 10 "venues" that received it, but it makes you wonder if there are a few more kegs floating around.

 

RR has been a let down at these events for the past few years. I hope something fun shows up from them at sour fest.

Also, is the SN Narwhal that was released in bottles aged in barrels or is this a special BA version?

 

Nothing on that list jumps out at me. I guess this will be the first year I skip Oakquinox. My liver will thank me.

 

Barrel-aged Narwhal is currently keg-only and was brewed for events just like Oakquinox. Using my Levitation-research skills like whoa:

 

Seeing Ad-Lib on the list makes me wonder if Lost Abbey is really going to bottle it.

 

I wonder if it's still the first batch.

 

I've had my years of punishment at Oakquinox, looks like a good year to rest on a Sunday and save some money. One of you guys can have my chair at the table.

 

They should have gotten Styx for the event.

 

Make that 2 chairs at the table.

 

When is next sour fest? I hear that is one not to be missed.....any highlights from last year?

 

I did not make it to the last one. I heard the different live barrels from Cascade were a hit. It is usually early July, not sure on the exact date. It might be up now on their website or it should be soon.

 

I have 70% of those beers in bottle right now. I know where more are to make it 90%.

 

Breweries are probably getting requests every week for special kegs for events. I imagine it's getting more and more difficult to get something limited.

 

Only thing that looks especially interesting on tap is the De Struise Pannepot Grand Reserva.

 

First one in a while i'm going to pass on buying tickets.

 

I suspect that this is not the final list. At least, I certainly hope not. A lot of those beers are just the same ones that have been at every Oakquinox, so perhaps they are just listing the "sure" things?

 

This will be my first Oakquinox this year, I'm looking forward to attending. Can anyone reccommend any tips on getting the best out of the experience? Stations to stop by first, food options, or general advice to "maintain" ha ha. Thank you in advance for the help.

 

This list would be good if the event were about ten bucks cheaper.

 

Don't pound though all 15 tasters in just an hour or two. Stretch it out, remember to eat something, drink water between tasters.
