I know there will be a Bretty Yeti I'm really looking forward to.

Cascade is bringing Sang Royal, Sang Noir, The Vine, and Blueberry.

 

Upland?? SWEET!! Wonder which one they'll bring. Also looking forward to see what Mt Sun has up their sleeves. I really enjoyed dirty blonde bombshell last year at the Vine St location

 

Not sure what they'll have this year, but last year they sent out some reps from the brewery and were pouring Cherry, Blueberry and Dantalion. Glad they'll be back again.

 

Looks like COOP Ale Works is pouring their Wild Wheat Wine. Don't know what that is, but it brings us one beer closer to a list.

 

can't wait to see what cascade is bringing.

 

Cascade is bringing Sang Royal, Sang Noir, The Vine, and Blueberry.

 

Heard crooked stave is pouring blackberry petite and the yet to be released Persica. Heard New Belgium will be pouring Le terrior, and la folie, forget the others. Odell has friek and shenanigans and I think another up there sleeve. I'm hoping Avery pours Fred's Mom...she is so damn fine.

 

Man I hope you're right about persica

 

Awesome time, gotta say really well done, nice job Avery!

The Vine, Persica, Le Terroir and Ross's Mom are top of my list... so many good one's to mention!

Pretty let down by Russian River's, Odell & New Belgium offerings, nothing unique and both bottled and distributed here (thus skipped, aside from Le Terrior)

Lost Abbey's Framboise & Cuvee were both excellent.

Lastly, I'll just say the chocolate in the Cambridge Ozymandias blended with the AC Golden Dark Kriek was incredible!!!! Tasted like a dark chocolate covered sour cherry! Dangerously drinkable for the 15% Ozymandias

Biggest surprise was the Redstone Black Folie, so good. (Black Brett tasted like White Zin)

 

Black Folie was my favorite, followed closely by Crabtrees Sauer Power. Other ones i loved were Cascade Blueberry, Le Terrior, Grapes of Wrath, and Upslopes Belgian Cherry. The Avery lineup in the tap room was phenomenal.

 

I wish I could have been there. Persia and Ross's Mom would have been at the top of my have to try list. If anyone has an extra glass I am ISO. Hit me up and we can work something.

 

And I agree, Prospero, it was a great festival. Very well planned and went off without a hitch. I also had an awesome Banh Mi sandwich at one of the tents.

 

I tried to talk a guy into a couple extra glasses when they were just sitting out during the brewers dinner. There were at least 30-40. He said they were going to the staff. Maybe they'll pop up for sale in the tap room.

 

Thanks for the info. I will keep an eye out for them.
