Official Weldwerks Thread

Regular JB is almost always available to go. Check their Untappd menus. They keep it regularly updated as far as draft and to-go options

 

I'll be driving from DIA up to Laramie on Monday and was hoping to stop by on the way and grab some hoppy stuff to go. I was surprised to see on their website that they don't fill growlers. Not sure I've ever seen that before, but I guess that means I won't have to pack any growlers in my bags

Hopefully there are some cans when I'm there.

It would appear they currently have 8 hoppy options to-go.

 

I stop in most every Monday for cans and they always have a great selection.

 

Thanks guys for the responses! I was able to get a mixed case of their hops to bring back to the Bay. I was sick, so couldn't taste anything and will just hope the high Untapped ratings are accurate

 

Has anyone tried the spaghetti gose? I know I could look it up on Untappd but was hoping for a report from the BA community. Not sure if I can get behind the idea of a savory beer, but I also felt that way before my first milkshake ipa.

 

Fuck all this nonsense. Spaghetti gose? Chardonnay Brut IPA? Sounds like the fonz is about make his appearance...

 

My friend and I just came back from WW this afternoon and we split a 5oz pour of the spaghetti. We both agreed that the beer was not as bad as we thought it was gonna be. It definitely tastes as advertised. Hard to explain but it definitely had a marinara, spaghetti, spice flavor to it without being overwhelming. Personally, I wouldn’t buy a 4 pack but I commend WW for brewing a beer as completely ridiculous as this and pretty much nailing it...

On another note... Bits Box is tasting as good as it did a year and a half ago. Citra, Galaxy and Mosaic cloudiness (sorry 2002 clear ipa lovers). Also, El Dorado DDH JB was the sleeper beer of the trip. Outstanding!

 

It sounds like the type of bullshit beer only Evil Twin or mikkeller would come up with. First, come up with a dumbass beer pun for a name, then second, brew a shelf turd.

 

This one won't be available on any store shelves. Taproom only .

 

Spaghetti gose isn’t something I have an easy time wrapping my head around, but I can’t penalize WeldWerks for their creativity. 100 new beers in a year!? There are successful breweries that might not get to that number of new brews in a decade. Most of those are damn good brews, too.

 

Wish I had more time here at Weldwerks but the Dodgers/Rockies game made it so I only had basically an hour to drink as much as possible... and you know what? All the beers I had were damn delicious especially the dark beers... you locals are lucky to have such a great brewery!

 

So, was anyone at WW when they opened? Curious what the line looked like...

 

I got here a few minutes after they opened, and the line was just about to the train tracks.

 

Lots of line cutting, the back of the line has barely moved in 30 Mins.

 

So..... definitely a shit show, but you really gotta hand it to Weldwerks on this one; they were not lying about the number of bottles available. Beer nerds gonna beer nerd so the line started at 6:45am and lasted a solid 12 hours, but bottles were still available when I left at 8pm.

I showed up with a group of 5 just before 4pm and the line was a disaster - easily 2.5-3+ hours - so we said fuck it and got in the draft line thinking we were SOL on bottles. Drink, drank, drunk and then it's 7pm and the line is dying down but people still walking away with full allocations so we said fuck it again and jumped in... all of us left with full allocations.

It was far from a perfect system with folks having to order from the bar, wait for their name to be called to pick up, then navigate the absolute shit show inside the brewery with their cases/boxes/bags, but it is what it is. I really feel like the ENORMOUS bay doors would be a much better place to sell to-go option while leaving the inside clear for draft pours, but I have been saying that for a year now to no avail and don't expect anything to change there. The real takeaway here is that I showed up fully expecting to be disappointed in Weldwerks (and I was), but left feeling wholeheartedly redeemed.

 

I didn’t see any line cutting. Lots of people going up to the draft only line around the corner. Line was super slow, no doubt about it. 2.5 - 3 hrs for an allocation.

 

They have pours of just about everything from yesterday... all noche bottles are gone, but I gotta pour.

Three minutes in line tops. Its a great way to start the weekend...

 

The 17 can options and Mexican Achro bottles ain't too shabby either

 

Was definitely a shit show. Could easily be made a lot smoother with all the space they have, and a little planning.

Multiple tents with their own lines:
-Cash only line
-Credit/Debit card line
-Multiple Can lines
-Outside tap tent with limited taps for outside/line consumption

Jester King does this, and they have some of the smoothest releases around.

Reserve inside for tap sales and premise drinking only. Hope they put some thought to it and make some improvements.

Regardless, had a blast. Saw some familiar faces and drank some outstanding beer.
