Firestone Walker Invitational 2018

Just say the code word when you get to the pool gate...neckbeard

 

Given the vibe the last few years, I would expect the only concern anyone would have is wondering why you weren’t there partying Friday night too...

 

I have an extra ticket if anyone wants to paypal me for it. Or could meet up at the show tomorrow night and swap beer for it. Whatever works.

 

Oof... weather looks pretty brutal for Sat.

 

I thought the pass phrase was "I have cooler full of beer" ?

 

Typical FWIBF weather. It's cool - good excuse for downing a gallon of agua while you're waiting in the 3F que,

 

Some beers say "Rare Beer" on the app. Does anyone know what this means?
Also, if they are starting to sell mothers milk on Saturday the day of the event, how can we be able to purchase some bottles before it most likely sells out?

 

Can I just show mine?

Been working on my Neck Beard just for the fest...

 

I don't know exactly what the criteria for the 'Rare Beer' label is but you can expect that a bunch of those will either be timed tappings or put on at some point and run out fairly quickly. A lot of the breweries just cycle in a keg when one finishes.

It could just be to show people that it is a rare beer and not have any actual bearing on anything though.

 

Just posted a spare ticket to stubhub for $109 to cover stub hub fees but willing to sell it here for cost. Will be at the Adelaide tomorrow. Can’t wait!

 

@pumptrick Looking forward to seeing you again tomorrow!

I just picked up a growler of foggy window at Monkish because maybe or not I did not have enough hops. I expect ya'll ************s gonna help me down all these delicious hops tomorrow night.

 

Headed up tomorrow. First time. Staying at the Adelaide with friends (mostly first-timers as well). Looking forward to meeting some BAs in person. Look for me--I'll be the bearded white guy with a bit of a beer gut wearing cargo shorts and a brewery t-shirt. You'll know it's me, because I'll be carrying some beer with me. Cheers!

 

This should be something special, I’ll be bring a five gallon keg of a double dry hopped iipa homebrew

 

Obviously meant bringing

 

So bad news, I totally forgot the hello, my name is nametags.

Also more bad news, Adelaide is quiet so far tonight...wtf? Room fridge is full of beer, plus cooler, plus box, plus 2 growler bags, plus 2 flats. Some of this beer is not mine though and I was just acting as a courier. . but still.

Going to be just drinking in my room, unless someone is here and wants to drink at the grassy knoll since that is near my room

 

Would love to help you, but I don't arrive until lunchtime tomorrow.

 

I will likely be full of biscuits and gravy and like 3-5 eggs. Joe's, down on spring, is such a fantastic breakfast. Also hitting up Silva for his release tomorrow

 

Depending on my timing I'll hit you up. Earliest I get into town is 10am, late as 12. Interested in the Silva release for sure.

 

For those getting in after breakfast, (especially those from the south) who want a lunch recommendation, I highly recommend going to firestone grill (in San Luis Obispo—not associated with the brewery) ordering a tritip sandwich to go, and taking it down the street to Central Coast Brewing Company to eat with their Monterey Street Pale Ale. Best lunch combo around and how I’ve started this weekend the last two years....cheers!
