Untappd's First Multi-State Virtual Beer Festival! (202)

Locked out by beer distribution laws in MN. Sad.

 

I was about to buy a package but I am not eligible either due to state laws. Oddly enough I was just disusing stupid beer laws earlier this morning in another thread. Kinda sucks this sounded fun but it is what it is.

 

I probably will end up grabbing a Home Stream ticket but I would be lying if I said I wouldn't like to drink the beer as well. Regardless, I hope this goes over well! Glad to see new stuff coming from the BA/Untappd collab.

 

Yeah. I'll consider that, but it won't be the same as sharing the same beer along with them!

 

Sounds fun, I am going to get the Home Stream ticket at least.

 

Any BAs in western WI willing to meet me in Hudson?

You can keep the gift cards.

 

Half Time can ship to Illinois? Hmm.

 

$90 for 11 beers including shipping. If you subtract the $20 of included gift cards, it comes out to $70 for 11 beers with free shipping. That's not bad in the online beer purchase world.

 

Well, crap!

 

Any word on how many total tickets (beer boxes) there are available? My wife needs to think about whether this is something I need to do.

 

I'll probably do this.

 

I'm in.

 

Looks interesting. I've had about half of those beers so I might just tune in with some of my own beers close to the styles that they are sending. I always like a good tasting event and hearing from people that work at well regarded breweries.

 

I am going to do this! I live in Kentucky but my beer address is in Ohio. What are friends for? Yepp exactly, to drink with you AND to have the beer shipped to !

 

Damn, this sounds amazing and some great beers on that list. But no shipping to Michigan.

 

That was my thought, too. Considering how much I’ve spent on Equilibrium since the lock down started, that’s a steal!!

 

Just signed up. Should be fun.

 

Signed up as well. Looking forward to it.

 

Will the stream be recorded to watch later? My wife works on Sundays but would like to see it!

 

@Todd
I'm in, cool idea / event.

 

It will! Everyone who purchases a ticket will receive a password protected link to watch the livestream. Once the livestream is over, that link and password will allow you to watch the video whenever you'd like.

 

Alright, just ordered two packages. One for me and one for my beer address friend
This will be fun, thanks for arranging this!

 

Wow I love Sloop Juice Bomb. I prob drink a 6 pack of that a week

 

After thinking about this a little more, I might get the full Drinking Socially package. I found that it says they do deliver to my zip code, which is pretty cool because I thought we couldn't get alcohol shipped here and never looked into online stores for beer. With the gift cards I'll have to make another purchase sometime if I can find some unique singles that I've been looking for or maybe something new I find on there. Looks like beer from breweries that don't even distribute to my state are on there for sale, which is pretty awesome. I'll probably just drink a couple beers during the tasting and save the others for drinking later some other time since I haven't really been out to buy fresh beer lately in the city. I did want that Banana Macadamia Fudge Cake stout too. There's some interesting beers that I'd like to try and give the other ones a review over. Hopefully it's still available. Looking forward to it!

 

Rock Star Beer Festivals started doing these virtual tastings last month on the west coast. 10 beers for $40-$45 with shipping. 2 sessions with brewers of about 45 minutes each. We had a lot of fun. Doing another one this weekend. Looked at this Untappd fest, didn't like the 2 day format, but that's just me. Enjoy those that participate.

 

Yeah, I used to buy beer from Half Time but they don't ship to Wyoming anymore.

 

Just received my beer package today... Looking forward to the event! Gonna crack a new can later too.

 

There's only 3 more days of shipping left and I still haven't received my beers. No shipment confirmation or tracking provided since my initial purchase. Anyone else not get their beer?

 

See you guys tomorrow! We'll be drinking all 11 Saturday, the wives did not grant permission for both days...

 

Can you imagine if you were talking to a friend and you said, "Hey, I'm going to do this fun thing over the weekend." And the friend replies, "No you're not. You're going to do this instead."

Ahhh, the joy of marriage!

 

Because drinking 11 beers in one day is SO much more responsible!
