2013 Bruery Barrel Party

I'm in! Another easy ticket buying process .

 

So? Why is that newsworthy?

 

This made me wonder; which party do people consider the best in terms of tap list...Initiation Party, BT Party, or Barrel Party?

Next year will be my third year in the RS and I am most likely going to be making it out to the Bruery for the first time, and am going to plan my trip around one of these parties.

Personally while I love BT and its variants, I'd rather see a more diverse tap list style-wise, and some things they have retired/don't normally bottle. I'm thinking the Initiation Party would be best for that?

 

Compare the tap lists from last year:

Is the google doc from initiation or barrel? Also what did a X in front of a beer mean - ex: choc rain.

Thanks.

 

The google doc is from the barrel party, I forget which BA'er created that splendid list.

 

I'm pretty sure the gripe was more about events being announced a week or two before they were last year, not that they weren't spread out enough. Last years barrel party was pretty close to the BT party, it's the way it has to be given that BT has a specific day in Oct and the barrel party is kinda like a "holiday party"

 

here's the 2013 initiation party tap list, in case you are interested.

Not to mention one being the first weekend of SDBW and the other being immediately after. I haven't done one Bruery event so far this year, and it doesn't look like that will change.

 

The timing might not be a coincidence with them trying to piggyback off people coming into town for SDBW.

 

So is there an exact location for this yet?
We're only 1.5 weeks out from the fest, and our group may want to get a hotel near the location.

Tap list?
anything?

 

Did you get this email? (don't know anything about location):

It's going to be a great party, as always and here is a little peak at just a few of the 50+ beers that will be offered during the event.

it states it'll be located at a venue here: http://www.downtownanaheim.com/

 

Googling 3rd St. Anaheim brings me in between two warehouses miles from downtown Anaheim.

I did not, but I don't get RS/HS emails, so that's probably why.

 

Hey guys,

The party will be held at Center Street Promenade between Lemon and Anaheim blvd.
