Firestone walker beer fest

Looks like Boneyard is bringing Bone-A-Fide and Femme Fatal according to their FB page

 

Anyone have any extra tickets? I'm looking for two, and will pay face value plus add some extra beers on top.

 

I think at least some brewers are planning to break out other stuff as the day goes on. I really hope Boneyard does -- I'd love to try one of their big IPAs.

 

We also know:
Stone is bringing Levitation and Ruination 10th Anniversary
Kern River is bringing Citra DIPA and Class X BB Stout
Full Sail is bringing something really boring.
Boneyard is bringing Bone-a-fied and Femme Fatale
Bruery is bringing Nottenroth and Tradewinds plus "special bottles"

 

Bear Republic - Double Aught & Altered Beast

 

Ballast Point: Even Keel and Victory at Sea (both good beers, but hardly in the spirit of the event).

 

Southern Tier: "A New Pale Ale and bourbon barrel-aged back burner barleywine".

#FWIBF @TheBruery slated to pour: Hottenroth & White Oak

 

From FW Twitter Bruery: Hottenroth and White Oak (if true, much better than Nottenroth and Tradewinds)

 

@DogfishBeer slated to pour: Festina Peche & Two Blind Mices

 

What on earth is Two Blind Mices?

 

No idea, I looked everywhere and Can't find any info.

 

That certainly qualifies as rare. Kudos to Dogfish! And here's hoping it's good!

 

Full Sail is LTD 05 & 2010 Top Sail Bourbon BBL-Aged
Green Flash really mailed it in with 30th St Pale Ale & Saison Diego

 

@KernRiverBrewin slated to pour: Just Outstanding IPA & 6th Anniversary aka Dirty Hippie. This event just got a whole lot worse.

 

BOO. Here's hoping that they, like a lot of other people, are holding some good stuff back for when the early kegs kick.

 

They are not big enough to hold anything back. They probably thought they would still have some Class X and are probably behind schedule for the next Citra. They went from a must visit to a if I have a chance with this announcement.

 

Just Outstanding IPA is a great single IPA, and it isn't like it is readily available to many people.
Also in respect to people saying some brewers offerings aren't rare enough, many breweries themselves are rare enough for the area.
Not that I wouldn't like to see Citra DIPA and Class X.

 

Still no excuse for either Green Flash or Stone's selections. I'm less disappointed about Kern, as I've never gotten to try the 6th Anniversary and I have had Citra once.

 

I wasn't that impressed with the first batch of Dirty Hippie at the last Citra release, and Just Outstanding is a good IPA. But the difference between Citra and Class X to Just Outstanding and Dirty Hippie is a huge drop off.
