Great Taste Pre-Party Events Thread

The program needs times...plain and simple

 

We could all split it up and take turns calling the breweries for times

 

It's not like the program has ever really focused on times - I recall breweries handing flyers out, just posting the tappings at their tents, broadcasting over social media etc. Of course, it also never used to be so walezbro ticker oriented...

 

Almost all timed releases had times on the program last year

 

fair enough - last year was the only year in the past 9 I did not attend.

 

I asked Goose on Twitter.

They're apparently doing some sort of a "Battle" themed event.. Tap timings:

1:00PM - Bourbon County Barleywine vs Coffee BCBS
2:00PM - St. Genevive vs 312 Radler
3:00PM - Propietors vs Vanilla Rye
4:00PM - Halia vs Gillian
5:00PM - BCBS vs Templeton Rye

Go through the line, pick *1* sample. You can get back in line, but no guarantees.

 

Good work, you will prob be able to go back twice, last year their beers lasted 30-60 minutes

 

Yeah. Should be good to go.

Wish they'd have split that 3:00 tho. That's gonna be a killer.

 

No Dave's Brewfarm or Black Husky this year. Bummer.

 

No side project?

 

Cory is at the Hill Farmstead thing.

 

All the owners of the breweries go to the great taste?

 

Cory is a one man operation, not just the owner. Well, him, his wife, and a cadre of volunteers.

 

Some of the breweries show special release times on the app. 4 hands and Lakefront are 2 examples. Anyone know why and/or if its even accurate?

 

Ah, yes, that could be true.

 

Volunteers? That's not smart...

 

4 Hands timings are also in the program itself, despite others so clearly not being. They appear in a graphic below their beer listings and match what's in the app.

 

Not in the brewing process. Labeling bottles, sales. Easy shit.

 

Yes it is...free labor!

 

I had no idea that Daves Brew Farm was still in business. I thought they were selling it and done? Meh, little did i know
