Alesmith Releases (2017)

Unless

1) you have a new job
2) used all your sick days
3) have no vacation time

OR 4) work graveyard shift, most would understand as well as other responsibilities however if you need a break, use a sick day as it's mandated anyhow. you either use them or lose em.

 

Nah, I can't take off next week. Trust me...if I could, I would.

 

longshot, but anybody know what, if any, BA bottles are for sale at the tasting room?

 

There definitely are BA bottles available. Usually see 4-6 different types every-time I visit. Unsure which ones at the moment.

 

Just wait until Sunday, you will be better off.

 

It will be available to the people that bought into the Tony Gwynn (fund?) iirc?

 

Any thoughts on the VIP lap selling out for this Thursday 11/09? I'm heading there that day only interested in the BA variants, but don't want to spend on EventBrite fees, if it'll be available at the door.

 

i think it costs more at the door than on eventbrite. anyhow, if youre planning on going why risk it over 2ish dollars?????

 

For those who have been to the grand prix event before, do they have some selection of non-speedway variants available? Seems like these would eat up a big chunk of their tap lines. Was thinking of bringing some folks by on Wednesday, but would prefer to have options other than just imperial stouts, especially since some will be driving after.

 

Just buy the ticket on eventbrite. For Thursday you might be OK getting it at the door, but if you're definitely planning on going I wouldn't risk it for a couple of dollars.

 

Burrito Reaper is right, each station will provide you with the flight & flight sheet for you to rank which is your favorite which you'll turn in at the end of your session (that is if you don't get bombed & forget)

By the way David, surprised I didn't see you this past Sunday. i can only guess Lost Abbey did you in with the dinner. Wish I could have joined those festivities but partook in birthday beer (2017 velvet, Salt Speedway then later blended 60/30/10 of previous 2 & rye/whiskey vietnamese). I'd say later on throughout the day is when you emerged

 

The taplist in Anvil & Stave on Sunday was bananas. They said they were on their last keg of DB Speedway, but I need to make another trip up there if Velvet and the Sea Salt BA Viet are still on. Those two were killer.

 

SDReaper, let us know how the VIP lap tastes after tonight!

 

im not burrito reaper but I went today. The VIP lap was great with PB Vietnamese being my favorite but anvil and stave was bonkers good too. double barrel, single barrel, sea salt vietnamese, rye whiskey vietnamese all tasting amazing... (and i think im missing one)

coffee cake also stood out in the vip lap as one with a lot of flavor presence which i personally enjoyed but people were split on
