Hangar 24 Pugafest

Cool, thanks for checking

p.s. I like your avatar, I saw that bottle a few weeks ago in Paso Robles, at a Bevmo I think. Did you kill it in one night?

 

I just heard back. They are not doing DD tickets, if you want someone else to go then you have to get a ticket. Bummer! But I guess if you bring your wife you can have some of her pours since she will be the DD anyways lol

Thanks, That bottle is actually last years 2014. I still have it in my cellar. I am going to open it for a Christmas party

 

I'm just a little confused by this;

• At first pickup on Sunday Dec. 6th, you will receive a membership card that will be used at all following pickups to verify your membership by either you or your proxy. No need to update your proxy throughout the year- just give your card to whoever will be picking up your box.
• We will be hosting PugaFest on Saturday, December 5th. If you purchase tickets and attend this event, you can pick up your membership box and additional bottles (if applicable) at the event, one day prior to public release. Details on this event will be announced soon.

So the first pick up is Sunday, but if you go to the event, which tickets are not on sale for just yet, you get to pick it up a day earlier? For a second there I thought one would have to go twice to redlands in a weekend.. shudder that thought.

 

Anybody from Corona/Eastvale going to this? Anyone wanna Uber share or carpool?

 

Are tickets sold out? Are they only available for Barrel Roll Members?

 

As of yestersay, its not sold out.
Only available to barrel roll members

 

Wrong. There are two sessions. One for barrel roll club members only, one for the public.

 

Sorry. Thanks for the correction

 

I still have yet to get the password for the members shin-dig. :shrug:

 

I sent you a PM @Earlycsquid. I got the email on the 18th around 5:30 pm. I thought I didn't get mine as well but I didn't realize that they used the email from BPT and it is an outdated one on my end.

 

Are there any members that are not using their +1? I will be at the member session with a +1, and wanted another buddy to attend....

Will take care of you with a few beers, or can discuss.

 

Anyone know if other vintages and other variants will be available at Pugafest for to-go bottles? (Other than the ones that went on sale today)

I remember seeing something for previous years about vintage bottles going on sale

 

Bummed I missed out. Will they be distributing regular Puga this year like they did last? Some people may have not cared for last year's really high abv but I thought it was masked very well.

 

can someone attach the link for the regular puga sale please

They just announced that additional bottles of Puga Royale & Pug Nog are going on sale at 5pm PST to ppl who didn't purchase the first time around. If you purchased on Monday, your transaction will be cancelled. You CAN buy more regular Puga though.

very cool, I missed Monday's sale. I got it in time today.

 

i ain't gonna get to go. was looking forward to tasting multiple pug variants at 10am. have fun

 

I do like the ability to get into the members only event without having to wake up at the ass end of dawn on a Saturday to get there before a huge line. Huge improvement and added benefit to the club.

 

From years past, the pours are at the one bar. You can also buy merch there. Pick up is held to the left of that with your name on the list and the quarter's allocation ready to go - will probably have your order from the online sales as well there.

 

It appears that there are three stations: Outside, patio, and inside. Each pouring different beer.

It's a ticketed event so it's unlike any of the previous ones. I'd guess there is a station where you can buy tickets to use at each of the different stations.

 

Looking forward to pugachev for breakfast after a 4 hours car ride

 

If you arrive early, go to Olive Ave Market for breakfast tacos. You'll thank me later.

 

Didn't know this was a thing. Do they do this everyday?

 

Weekend brunch only...and for those with allergies, you can have then vegan, gluten free (tofu + facon), but they normally come with hash browns, avocado, bacon and egg...sooo good. Best breakfast in Redlands imho. Other stuff is great too, the spicy sausage and french toast.

 

I'm there right now!

 

think I may have to stop by there on my way.

 

Tofu + facon?

 

Are they selling tickets for the regular session at the door too???

 

Haha don't ask me. I just know there is such option.

 

Hawaiian speedway is on at eureaka if people are looking for drinks after

 

How crazy is the public release is it worth even going tomorrow? Or is expected that they sell out today?

 

The sale was online

 

Marasca was the best. Easily.

 

Was pretty happy with most of the variants I tried, latte and gingerbread were pretty crazy. I hate fruited stouts and Marasca was still tasty, definitely better than Regal Rye.

The organization of the event was pretty nice too. Short line to get in, only the station with most of the members exclusive beers had a long line and they remedied that by moving some of those beers to another station.

 

Over all, it was a pretty damn well organized event.

Props, yo.

 

Yup, and seeing as I grabbed my bottles 30 minutes before the end, I didn't really have to wait for em. Even the long line for the inside pour station kept moving all day.

 

Event was pretty good. Thought it was going to be way more packed. Really liked this year's regular pugachev. Wish I would've bought more.
