Victory at Sea Day - Dec 20

If they do the same thing as last year and previous, yes you can buy more tasters after your 5 run out, you just go on a taster-by-taster basis then.

 

They usually have a location specific variant which is fun to see. Also I know last year they were doing growlers the next day of whatever was left on tap, so if you really liked one in particular there may be a chance to take home a growler of it the following day.

 

Had the Bread Pudding treatment before. Delicious! Have had friends drive down before and they said it's definitely worth the trip with all the varirues of VaS.

 

Did it last year at the Miramar location with a group of friends. I felt like some of the variants were a miss, but most were good and interesting to try. Will probably go again this year.

 

the new location is typically always packed to the breaking point, I really want to do the variants, but can't justify the madness that will come with it.

 

Price went up and it's less tasters ? Nope.

 

Does BBA VaS make an appearance?

 

Pretty cool that other locations will also be having this event. Not exactly the same line up but variants as well.

 

Last year I believe there was a four roses bourbon, rye whisky, and rum variants.

So yes, it can make an appearance but really they tend to not release the list until a day prior or even day of when you walk through the door.

 

Thanks for the response! Sorry if i'm just bombarding you with questions, but I was wondering how long the beers usually last, probably won't make it out there till around 5 that day?

 

Anyone go to the LI location last year? Curious about crowds throughout the day

 

I was at the Miramar location and I think only 1 of the 20+ variants kicked by about 3pm. Couldn't tell you what it was though since I was there from 10am - 7pm and then somehow I got home. Most of them were still flowing by the time I left. Other locations might not have been as busy, thus why I mentioned they were doing growlers the day after because of their supply.

But of course that was 2014, and now, you know... 2015ers be 2015'ing.

 

Thanks man. Answered the question perfectly. Looking forward to the event!

 

Miramar & Scripps Ranch ran out of glasses pretty quickly last year so we headed to Homebrew Mart which still had a ton. I liked that they let you take home growlers of certain variants (though, sadly not 4Roses VaS).

Da fuq?
Why would they hold onto these for a year?
Coffee version was good last year, but that was last year.
I remembered they were only selling them by the case, they could of gotten rid of all of them if they sold them in singles.

 

For reals. I bought one of those cases and split it with my friends. That beer did not age well. Fresh it's amazing, but it just doesn't hold up.
