    They will be small pours, so will go a ways. We plan on rotating them into the lineup throughout the event. And yes, unfortunately there may not be enough for everyone that wants to try them. Such is the problem with high demand beer. We hope that we can compensate anyone who may miss one with one of the many other delicious beers that will be pouring. In the end, we think it's better to have some great brew, than to have none at all.

    Agree. And congratulations on being incredibly successful in your first official year. You have obviously made a statement not only with us customers, but with the brewing world as well. Those are some awesome names to put on the guest taps.

    And if I don't get to try some of the lovely Florida beers, I think I will be just fine drinking the many De Garde beers.

    No idea. Talking this morning and asked if he'd be in a position to send a keg in time for the party. He said yes and I wasn't going to be picky. Hopefully will have updates with specifics in the next few weeks.

    Couldn't resist a little jab at the Belmont/Devil thread…. :wink:

    Oh, I got the reference! Just wanted to dispel the possibility. We dont want to take advantage of the graciousness of our guest breweries.
    And for what it's worth, I think Belmont Station was put in a no-win situation there. They were told to pour the bottles, and the pricing to them was such that either they make little money, or they offend some folks.

    Keepers memberships still around or are they gone with the wind?

    The Keeper's membership has hands down been the best thing I've spent money on in a good long time.

    Will there be any logistical changes relative to the Feb 1 bottle release?

    So no tickets for this event? this could be crazy.

    Indeed...Happy I'm getting in at 12 rather than 2 :wink:

    That said, if this is anything like the last one (and it sounds like the last party on steroids) there will be plenty of amazing beer to go round between the kegs and bottleshare.

    Will try and get these all answered:

    Memberships signups were done as of December 31st.

    We will be selling bottles to members during the Keepers party from 12-2pm, but will ensure limits such that bottles will remain after it opens to the public. By doing it this way, we hope to reduce lines since we anticipate that around/at least half of the attendees will be Keepers members. Effectively cutting the line for bottles in half.

    We will be announcing the Keepers beers to members shortly through email.

    Based upon anticipated demand as we approach the event, we will set bottle limits. Given the limited nature of many of these barrels and batches, we may do a total limit on number of bottles, or individual limits.

    We really don't anticipate it being a crazy event given our location, as well as the fact that people will need to travel afterwards since our brewery is outside of town. Yes, it is likely to be busy and crowded. We are trying to organize it such that lines are kept to a minimum for both draft and bottles.

    No tickets. We will be charging for your anniversary glassware should you decide to partake in draft beer as we did for our last event (price tbd, but likely $3-5). This way, if you're just interested in bottles, you don't pay for entry.

    That's crazy awesome. Basically the two best things from Florida. I need to see if I can get down there for the party.

    Miami madness please.

    The feeling of impatience can be dealt with on a temporary basis by making plans/reservations for May 3rd in Tillamook. :slight_smile:
