Beervana RI.

Goddam. What a shitty time to not live down the street any more

 

The beer list is HERE:

Crazy good stout lineup this year- CBS/KBS, DB &Cognac Jesus, ZZzlumber, Prop.......can't wait!

 

One of the great things about this fest is that many people will be focusing on different things. I can safely avoid virtually all the sours, farmhouse ales and other wild offerings that many of you will flock to.

CBS: haven't had it, will try to tick
Captains Daughter: haven't had it either
The Beer'd table looks awesome.
Dogfish pulled out the stops...great lineup.
Tons of great stuff as always.

 

I'm already walking in circles waiting for CBS and Prop.

 

Man I need to work in some goses and sours in between the high ABV options, phew. Great list this year, the Prop is definitely my must try this year. CBS would be nice but I had a pour of it during the summer, so if the line is crazy that is passable.

My wife will be thrilled that her highlight from last year is back, Oskar Blues Death by Coconut!

 

Holy sh*t. Looks great. I've got my hotel room reserved.
If anyone is interested I've got good access to Westbrook, Bells, Elysian, Great Lakes and some others in New York.

 

Great looking list ... The local CT & RI breweries look more interesting than the rest, will be hitting up Tributary's booth many times as well.

 

I should know this, but is there a Providence location where I may pick up a ticket in advance?
- Thanks!

 

Eventbrite online only as far as I know. They aren't selling them at retail locations any longer. They stopped that a few years back.

They will sell them at the door if still available though.

As I type there are fewer than 200 left, and they're not anticipating having any left day of show . . .

 

More Beervana-ness: a Q&A with Otter Creek brewmaster Mike Gerhart, who will be one of the speakers at the fest [Sam Calagione of Dogfish shares the bill]:

OK, here's my last pre-Beervana share: the floor plan!!

https://bottlescansclaphands.wordpress.com/2015/10/14/beervana-the-floor-plan/

 

There's a second level? What's the over/under on the number of diggers taken on the stairs?

 

Thankfully it's only like a dozen stairs. Hopefully it's enough to keep people away from the Shelton Brothers table. Haha.

 

Was the 2nd floor used last year?

 

There used to never be a line for their table...

 

No. First year for the second level.
