Bare Hands Anniversary/Christmas Party

http://www.barehandsbrewery.com/peanut-butter-chocolate-stout-lottery

Any fellow BA folks going? Any one else enter the lottery?

My partner and I have attended for the past several years and it's always a good time. Happy about the improvements/additions this year including guest taps and a heated tent as it would start to get crowded in the tap room quick. Also, no standing in line for allotments (supposedly) which would be nice but the lines are never that long and you can enjoy a pint in line.

Both of us are gold lottery winner so that's exciting with the line up they have released.

Hopefully we'll see some other BA folks in attendance. Cheers!

 

Full list of released beer and "exclusivity"
GE = Gold group exclusive
SE = Silver group exclusive
(Both denotations mean only that groups winners will get those beers if all full group allotments are chosen and there's no extras)

Peanut Butter Chocolate Stout $16/Btl
Peanut Butter Jelly Chocolate Stout $18/Btl GE
Vanilla BA Fourteener (Blanton) $22/Btl GE
Vanilla BA Mail Order Bride (4 Roses) $22/Btl
BA KaKow (4 Roses) $20/Btl GE
BA Fourteener (Jefferson's Reserve) $20/Btl SE
BA Mail Order Bride (Four Roses) $20/Btl SE

 

Got two full allotments (all gold beers plus the two silver beers) then stuck around to have a pint in the taproom and try some guest taps. A little disappointed I couldn't try the variants on draft but the regular PB Stout and Mail Order Bride we're drinking smooth.

I also really enjoyed 450 North and 18th St guest kegs, Windmill's was ok. All in all another great Bare Hands PB Stout/Christmas party in the books and a lot bigger turnout this year than previous years gives me hope BH will stick around for sometime.
