Armsby Abbey Stoutfest 2017

Sorry man. While I won't tell you what IS going to be pouring I will tell you Boris will not be.

 

Anything else added to the breakfast event for the tag to be $145 plus fees? Hate to bring up prices, but that's just crazy.

I had a lot fun last year, but it looks like I'll pass for this years.

 

Not sure I've ever seen what the pairings are at the breakfast. What were the 3 beers last year?

 

Last year was 2013 Hill Farmstead Birth of Tragedy, 2014 Banded Horn BA Mountain, and Tree House Give Me Truth.

Good times last year. I'm pretty sure is going to be just as good this year, but sometimes you have to draw the line on how much you're willing to spend.

 

Wow, just noticed that all 3 stouts at the breakfast are from the same brewery. At the top of the page it says "3 Rare Stouts / 3 Epic Courses / 1 World Class Brewer" whereas last year it said "3 Stouts / 3 Brewers / 3 Courses".

I assume it just about has to be either Tree House or Hill Farmstead?

 

If I was betting, it will be Shaun Hill as he has been there the past 2 years ever since they went to this mystery stout / meet the brewer format.

 

Able to do a flight or full pours only?

 

It's been a year but I don't recall flights at last year's Stoutfest. I could be remembering incorrectly. It's tight quarters in there and the bartenders are already swamped, anyhow.

 

They do flights and full pours

 

Thanks guys...$150 is a little steep for me. Any clue when people not attending the formal breakfast start lining up? I image the place is a madhouse.

 

And its sold out

 

Pretty sure people were outside at 10am last year

 

Nope. You can still get one.

 

I might go later that day. Taplist is always solid. I forgot ANTEAD pick up is also in that weekend.

 

BA Archaism was delicious. Great Job with that beer.

 

Agreed!

 

Slightly less Hill than expected, but there's a lot of stuff people might be sleeping on that seems amazing on there... very much looking forward to the post-breakfast bar-rush and subsequent drinking endeavor!
