3 Sons 2020

Can anyone proxy for me, currently stationed overseas, but will be back stateside September ish. If you can help out shoot me a pm, thanks.

 

I'll be going session one.

As far as the membership I was out of town for first run, but I heard people were maybe butthurt it wasn't an all exclusive royal membership. Basically only 2 bottles were exclusive to members only. One of them a Berliner (which I loved when I had it in house) and the other BA PB King (which I also super loved in huse).

 

The shit lords and people with unreasonable expectations were the unhappy ones. The membership was really good and the best part was the members party in August. They had some one off BA stout blends and let us cuvée them all to make crazy beers. The bananas foster beer (that was double barrel aged in rum and bourbon) cuvéed with PB king was prob the best adjunct stout I drank last year. And I had 5-6 pours of it at the fest.

The bottles were all good. That said I’m hopping for higher level beers this year. And by that I mean they’ve been in their own brewery for a year now, so beers will have been brewed on their system and aged in barrels at their facility. Should have more barrels to pick and choose from to blend stouts etc. In short, what was really good last year could be great this year.

 

My wife and I are doing session 2.

 

As will my wife and I. Flying down Thursday and back up Monday. Should be a hell of a weekend!

 

Round 2 will have Summation and Scoop in it... also hope you all have a great time at Lumberjack! The final tap list is on both the FB and Instagram page!

 

And Lumberjack was fantastic. Very small lines and crazy good beer/mead flowing.

standouts:

Smortal Kombat
BA Scoop
Blueberry torte
Redrum
BA bananaversary
Maple Faha

 

do you even Zenne?

 

Lambic doesn’t get me excited.

 

I was at 3 Sons down from Pgh about a week ago - loved their stuff - great brewery - question though - i was kinda blown away at a 500ml BA was like $35-$40 - I know the stuff is rated high and quite good - but is that normal price range??

 

you should see the bottle prices at JW for onsite consumption.

 

Yeah - unfortunately - I didn't get to make it there - hopefully next time. Prices just seemed fairly high to me for a 500ml - not like i've NEVER seen that before, but there was a little sticker shock.

 

Please send me all lambic you find that you don't want. Thanks

 

In house only?

If so those Any brewery charges a premium for in house.

Hell any place that serves alcoholic beverages

 

Yes, its in house only. I honestly don't have a problem with it. Westbrook and JWB do it as well. I'm sure there's plenty of others, those are just the ones I have experience with. You basically price it high enough that it isn't going to sell out instantly but low enough that it isn't highway robbery (okay... sometimes some places blur the line on that one). I've had a couple of onsite bottles at JWB and 3 Sons, all for special occasion type stuff.

 

Anyone join the family membership this round hear anything after paying the invoice? I know there is a Facebook group but my join request there is still pending.

 

Member emails went out today, otherwise email [email protected]
