Best Tap Takeover You've Attended

In 2010 at Blind Tiger in NYC, Hill Farmstead. I had never had their beers before. It was awesome! I even wrote Shawn a fan letter and he wrote back!!

 

Founder's here in San Jose about two months ago.

 

New England Brewing Co:
Fuzzy Baby Ducks
G-Bot
Sea Hag
Locust Reign
Supernaut
etc. etc.

Staggered the tapping of the kegs so you could pace yourself, great time.

 

That sounds perfect! For me, it was a simple Foothills (Winston-Salem) takeover at Sticks and Stones in Greensboro. The owners, brewers, and friends from everywhere feasted on a great variety of brews and not a soul bitched about a thing. It was fun and very informative.

 

Only one I've been to was a Kent falls tap takeover and everything I tried was fantastic!

 

Russian River nights at the Toronado after the crowds have left.

 

AleSmith - 7 different Speedway variants.

 

I want to say it was 2012 at The Willows in San Francisco..it when Goose just started to take their products national and this bar had a tap takeover that included bourbon county regular, coffee, cherry, big john, night stalker and had bottles of rare and king henry. And there were maybe 10 people in the bar too...not sure if it was because the BCS train hadn't left the station yet, or if barrel aged stouts just weren't a west coast thing at that point.

 

I've only been to one thus far, but it was a slam dunk. It was a Founders tap takeover and got to try KBS, CBS, '13 Backwoods, and Mosaic Promise. Excellent.

 

Agreed on Founders. Last year Farmhouse had CBS, KBS, Backwoods Bastard, Blushing Monk, '14 FIS... and there were more that I can't remember. I could have stayed until it was all gone...

 

Carton at the Cloverleaf.

 

Going to a Founders takeover this Friday with 15 handles. KBS, Backwoods, Blushing Monk, Project Pam, and obviously many more.

 

I went to a great Founders tap takeover about 6 months ago that had KBS, CBS, Backwoods and a ton of other stuff. The only sad part was that it was on a weeknight so I had to be somewhat reasonable what I consumed.

You seem confused about the other thread, I acknowledged that tap takeovers can be great events, it's the shitty and pointless ones that just serve normal beer available 365 days a year which should be protested and mocked by BA's.

 

SingleCut takeover at J. Ryans in Syracuse. (half stack, full stack, remember laughter, mo shuggie, is this real life, cowbell, heavy boots, coffee lager)

 

Hill Farmstead tap takeover last year during VT Brewfest weekend. Incredible hop lineup

 

Stone did one some years back at Rattle N Hum (and other places) with vintage brews of theirs that would be hard to beat. Ridiculous lineup.

 

That Heavy Boots of Lead is dynamite

 

I went to a Jack's Abby one at a local place a few years ago, 30 taps of just Jack's Abby, all the hoppy lagers, all the variants of Framinghammer, tons of one-offs, just an awesome time.

 

Funky buddha and cigar city did one at churchkey in d.c last year that was unbelievable. Was especially nice for me since i never see any of their stuff here in mass
