Sun King - CANvitational

Old Style?

 

I'm so confused.

 

Incoming....

Sun King Brewing Company and 3 Floyds are excited to announce that together we will be releasing our latest collaboration, Royal Brat (ESB), in CANS at the CANvitational!

4-pack cans will be available for purchase at both brewery after the release.

 

hmm. well. that's different.

cool for folks that liked bitter druid.

 

Any update on the "top secret" yet?

Was it the FFF/Sun King news?

 

Literally the post above you. Don't even have to change the page.

 

Well, that's underwhelming to say the least.

 

next saturday. so who's going ?

 

Ill be there. Looking forward to it.

 

I'll be there from 12- 5. Look forward to seeing you there Rob. Cheers-

 

I'll be there.

I have ticket for sale (see ticket forum).

 

i'll be there by noon as well

ISO: tips on best nearby parking

also, anyone know if there will be entrances on both ends of georgia @ both capitol and illinois ? i'm guessing yes.

 

Can't help much with parking except where you can. Yes, both entrances to Georgia Street will be open. Weather looks awesome for the day, 85 and sunny is the forecast.

 

For those thinking of going that haven't committed and purchased I ticket, apparently the discount code CANLOVE will cut the cost of a ticket to $30. Nice savings there. Looks like a really cool event Sun King has planned, but alas going to a wedding that evening and I'm attempting to not arrive sloppy drunk, achy legged and brutally sunburned. Can't win 'em all.

 

^this post should have started with "Hola amigos!"

 

It HAS been a long time since I last rapped at ya.

 

Is it fair to say that the breweries will be pouring their more limited stuff during for those with early admission or does early admission simply just get you an hour on everyone else? Tempted to go but there's a big difference between $75 and what is now $30.

 

Early Bird is just that, in the door early. We don't have any requirements that the breweries pour limited stuff then, but we won't stop them either. There are a lot less of those tickets, so you'll definitely have a better chance to chat with the brewers at each table. Plus, there's the cool T shirt.

 

So how was this?

 

all told, i'd give it one and a half thumbs up. especially for a first go 'round. a few objectives comments:

- nice lineup of brewers and kudos to the breweries (and their brewers) that came a considerable distance despite no distribution presence in indiana (i'm looking at you dc brau, cigar city, san tan, and tallgrass among others)
- good turnout
- ultra cool location
- great weather
- nice selection of food, and @ good prices
- my only critical comment would be the ticket price. somewhat steep @ 50$ and i'm guessing this had something to do with the 30$ tix that could be had with a coupon code about a week out
- and re: early entry tix @ 75$, i must say i'd have been super happy with a coupla special pours from at least a coupla tents - not that i'm complaining about the tshirt - its a cool shirt

- beer of the day: great crescent / bourbon barrel aged coconut porter (thanks to cpsiddall for pointing me to this one)
- beer lineup of the day: dc brau - seriously solid lineup. every beer they brought was great.
- stood up by surly

big thanks to sun king.
