And how exactly are you supposed to purchase 3 or more bottles?

EVeryone gets in line and waits for the brewery to open. When they open the doors to the brewery they do sales there at the bar. THe last 2 years when you bought 3 bottles you got a wristband and were directed thru the brewery to the back where the party was at and where you can pickup your beers if you dont want to carry around . The layout may be slightly different with the restaurant there now but should be the same for the most part.

 

I wish I lived in Cali sometimes.

 

For the record, I have emailed Veronica Juarez, from Firestone Walker, as directed on their website, three times asking for more information, and I've yet to hear back.

They've had that post up for a few months now.

Conversely, when Double DBA was coming out a couple of months ago, I emailed about availability, and the local Firestone Rep called me within the hour to let me know which stores would be getting it when.

Vastly different customer service experiences, but I still love Firestone. If any of you are going to the XVI party, I'll be seeing you there!

 

did they release the details on the blend already? i didnt see it on the website.

 

No, I've not seen the blend yet.

Also, I'm REALLY looking forward to that X - XVI Vertical party I'll be having when I get back home from the release party!

 

Cool. What's your address? I'll be there

 

You can find me at 215....

Heeeeeeeey, wait a second! I see what you did there.

 

I may be moving to Portland Oregon and that's a long hop, a skip and a couple jumps from Nor Cal so hopefully I'll get to experience stuff like this and some cool RR beers.

 

I will pay anybody one bottle of BCS to walk around this party wearing a mask of my face the entire time.

I will provide the appropriate PDF image in proper format.

photo confirmation required.

 

If I was there I'd do it in a heartbeat

 

For anyone in or near Tucson, AZ:

On December 12, 2012, 1702 Pizza and Craft Beer Bar (http://beeradvocate.com/beer/profile/17783/?view=beerfly) will be having a Firestone beer night featuring XVI, Parabola, DDBA and some kind of firkin. They are in the process of trying to procure some more awesomeness as well. Last time they had one of these events (I think back in February) they had XV, XIV, 2011 Abacus, Parabola, Black Xantus and more, so it should be good.

 

FYI, they posted some info about the blend:

And an FAQ page about the party:

See you all there!

 

FWIW - Veronica Juarez from Firestone did email me back, apologized for missing my previous mails, and provided all of the details about the party/release, which as pointed out above, are now on their website.
