Puckerfest?

Potentially. However, since Puckerfest lasts a week, some days are better than others, and there's been no announcement who's going to be debuting something on what day. Once we know if 'opening' day is Block 15 or Double Mountain or Cascade (etc.), it'll be easier to make the call.

 

We've got solid confirmation from Logsdons, Flat Tail, Oakshire, Block 15, Upright, Double Mountain, The Commons, and New Belgium, but I don't know yet which brewery(s) will be features on which nights. We're still trying to pin down a couple more (including Solera). Of course, there's also a slew of other things that will be in the mix as well, including a bunch of imports like Bon Chien 2010, Tilquin Gueuze, Bahnhoff Berliner Weisse w/brett, etc. I have 27 kegs tagged as "puckerfest" in the POS system already, and that doesn't include the things that were transferred to our off site storage facility or the stuff that hasn't been delivered yet (which is most of it). I have a feeling we'll have upwards of 60 different beers to try and plow through when all is said and done.

FWIW, we also like going out with a bang, so even if you can only make the last day I'm sure it'll be worth stopping by. Last year on the final day we had Cantillon St Lamvinus, Oakshire Inception, Logsdon's Seizoen Bretta, Belmont 14th Anniversary, Cascade Nightfall, Block 15 Golden Canary, Big Horse Kahler's Kriek and a bunch more. We'll also have a bit of carryover after the event since we'd rather pour through most of it than clutter our walk-in with partials.

 

Sounds good Chris.

And FWIW, I wasn't implying any given night is worth passing up; more that some nights are more plead-worthy than others. (For instance, I wouldn't be able to muster up a great argument for a Cascade night considering the barrel house proximity.)

 

I'm also considering extending my trip an extra day to make the first day of this...does anyone know when the first day draft list will be up?

 

Yeah...I love how this sounds but can really only make it down from Seattle on weekends...So I'm crossing my fingers they go big for the first day or two. Looks like last year they put out some vintage Consecration for sale later in the week...Hoping they have some nice gems on the shelf for the kickoff...Because I need more beer haha.

 

Might have to try and make this every day during that week....

 

Sam...feel free to let me join you every day...especially if you drive the GTR.

 

I will be there potentially Tuesday and definitely Wednesday, very excited for some PacNW sours

 

Best thing ever to happen to beer, and Portland..

 

That can be arranged. Funny thing, I just ordered some performance parts for it today.....

 

Minor details and/or beers are subject to change, but here's the event line up:

Sweet, excited for the Golden Canary...Damn, I may have to stay down there an extra day for the Upright event.

 

Looks like a fantastic lineup! Can I assume the first day is the 13th, rather than the 20th?

 

Going to miss most of it due to work, but I think the 14th works with my schedule. Looks like a pretty good day!

 

Everyday looks pretty damn good, but I have to say the 14th is looking quite nice.

 

Urgh, typos...It will all (hopefully) get fixed tomorrow.

 

Sounds fantastic, I certainly be stopping by several days.

 

It's on! 13 sour, wild, and/or funky things to start things off:

• New Belgium / Lost Abbey Brett Beer
• Flat Tail Tamil Black
• Flat Tail 1st Anniversary Ale
• Flat Tail 2nd Anniversary Ale
• Flat Tail Vallee Blanche

We've got 2 different flight options for the day, one for each brewery, and the folks from Flat Tail and Oakshire should be rolling in around 5. Stop on in and say hi.
