Bruery Barrel Aged Night

I was excited...until I saw it was on a Monday and Tuesday night. I cannot justify going up from SD when I have to work the next day or have to take a day off.

 

Weeknights = lame

 

Probably won't go
Why is this on a work night?
Tough to say "No," though

 

What were the highlights of last year's Bruery's Barrel Aged Night? I couldn't make it.

Edit: Wasn't last year's event on in the barrel room, itself?
Double edit: Where is this year's party? That info seems to be lacking in the e-mail/OP.

 

Last year's highlights for me were 09 BT & Peanut butter Balls BT.
Yes, last years was at the barrel room itself, and was catered by beachwood bbq.
Doesn't say, agree info on location is lacking.

Price is less then last years, but there is less food, with the same amount of tickets, so seems well priced.

I willl likely go, but agree getting notice of the sale less then 24 hours prior, it being less then 2 weeks away, & landing on two week nights...seems this was cooked up last minute imo, and wished they had planned it better. I had a thread on BA about this after the BT event, had sent an email to Jaime @ the Bruery about this a month ago, & she only said it was up in the air at the time. I later posted a thread on the RS site for some infor (which went completly unanswered until this email last night)

I thought they had hired an events planner? If so, that person either dropped the ball, was not briefed that this event was supposed to happen, or they contemplated not doing it at some point. Perhaps it's just too many events all at once. RS renewals, new RS slots opening, Melange 3 allocaiton, BT release & party, etc.

Still, seems they could have planned this a bit more in advance, and sent an email on 11/1 that these were going on sale 11/14, for the end of the month 11/30 & 12/1 would have been my preference. All well.

 

Anyone know the specific rules on who can buy tickets? I share an RS account with a friend but its all his Name/info/CC - If he can't make it, can I still log in and buy the tickets with my own CC? Put my own info in the "shipping" section? I'm surprised I haven't run into this already, it's just worked out we've been able to go to the same events and he's picked up the tix.

 

Don't care if it's on a weeknight, I'll drive up from SD. I missed the BT Celebration, not missing this (especially since I'm not renewing the RS.)

 

Does this mean the Barrel Room tasting is not happening this year? Anyone know before we pull the trigger on tix?

 

Well this event IS the barrel aged beer tasting they do every year. But as for it being IN the barrel warehouse, info doesn't say where this will be, so not sure. However, I do recall Patrick saying at last year there were no plans on continuing to do them in the barrel room.

My guess at the, and this is pure speculation, is that perhaps it has to do with actualy serving alcohol at that site? Not sure if they got a licence for that, or if the one they have extended to the barrel room. I had hoped that was not the case, as the the space in the warehouse was awesome to be in.

 

will be going to Second session on tuesday night. Stoked since I missed the BT celebration

 

Got my tickets at 10:01. Maybe it was overkill to be so on the dot with this one, but with the way their stuff sells out (and with the stuff I've missed in the past) I thought I should be sure. I'll be there 8-10 on Monday.

 

In for Tues 8pm.

 

Tuesday @5PM, see you there.

 

In for Tuesday 8 p.m. session. as well.

 

Tuesday at 8.

 

Got my tickets Monday at 5. First time visiting The Bruery...see you guys there.
