Beachwood Nov. 5-7

I don't think they are. Note that they have pictures of little bottles on the bottom left of the board. Beachwood posted another picture this morning that showed a bottle icon next to Oude Gueuze.

 

Some of them have a little bottle symbol by them, including 3F Oud Gueuze denoting that they're bottle pours.

 

Oh I didn't even notice the bottle symbols, I just assumed the 5.5 oz pours were bottles, which accomplishes the same thing in the end.

 

I just read on a fb group that fou foune is tapped out as of right now

 

Just browsing instagram and reading Double Citra is gone too.

 

Could someone update what the line/crowd situation is like (and whats blown for that matter)? 99% sure I won't make it, but I would like to keep dreaming...

 

So much for being able to get your favorites whether you show up at 11:30AM or 6PM, huh? Unless they have reserves and are going to tap those starting later today.

 

I just walked by 20 minutes ago since I work nearby and this is what the line looked like. Not too bad considering, I expected it to be a lot worse.

Yikes, that's just to get in.

They just pulled Fou Foune and Double Citra off the beer board so they're definitely gone.

 

A person I follow on instagram who is at the event says that there's a 2 hour table limit. Maybe you'll be able to walk right in tonight, but it's Friday so it will be probably be a mad house until closing time.

 

supposedly all the stuff that had kicked will be back on at 6pm

 

I was #32 in line at 10:30. There was a line all the way to the end of the block (and probably around it) by 11:30. Got in by 11:40 to sit in the bar area. Took another 20mins. to get my first beers in hand (Abner, Double Citra, and Cantillon Cuvee). Everything listed was available. Fou' Fone was taking a while at first due to carbonation issues during the pours but I just waited until the second round to get some and it was easy-peasy--then again, it kicked 5 minutes after I got mine. Double Citra kicked next, then Abner but Abner got put back on after 30 mintues or so. I heard they have multiple kegs of each and they're just waiting until 6pm to tap them. Can't confirm that, though. They were putting on some Crooked Stave leftovers from last night in the meantime. Side note, the food was coming out SUPER fast.

I also got:

Fou' Fone
HF Edward
HF Nelson
HF/Grassroots Brother Soigne
HF/Grassroots Legitimacy (my favorite IPA of the day)

Great time!

 

Damn, guess I should have tried Legitimacy

 

I showed up at 5 til 11 and I was around 80th in line. Plenty of FF to go around. They tapped 2 kegs that lasted until around 1230 or so. I'm impressed by how long stuff lasted based on the line today. By opening there were 100+ people behind me.

 

On my way, going it's not crazy right now.

 

*hoping

 

This was not a shit show, I work in downtown LB (see avatar) was #5 in line I had all the Cantillon lambic and HF beers, they has a private party (see 2008 zwanzee and the RR / Cantillon Colab) and everyone was cordial.

Someone did cut and you know who he is.

 

Agreed. I give props to Beachwood for working so hard to host a real awesome event. I was sitting at the bar and witnessed everyone, including Gabe and Julian, work with their team to serve everyone (Gabe was working the Fou Foune tap the entire time till it kicked). I left relatively quickly, but had no issues entire time I was there, both inside and while waiting outside.

*didn't see the line cutting incident
**if I had known that was you at #5, I would've introduced myself.

 

Surely not our good friend Moe.

 

I can't blame him for cutting in this instance, the Cascade folks called him in.

Once I got in I was good, was a little annoying being stuck at the front if the bar line when there was a big open area on the patio that nobody was using.
