Visiting Tillamook (Fall 2015 update)

This guy can stay, too.

 

Tillamook is pretty built up compared to a lot of the coast areas. Check out some Washington coast towns for even more quaintness. I once had a visitor quizzing me about spas on the south coast of Oregon. That's funnier than clam guns! (Vegetarians call'm chanterelle guns.) By now I guess Bandon has golfer spas. However, the fishing can be good and the PNW coast and Vancouver Is. are truly the wild west of surfing in North America. Driving to the coast just for beer is pretty radical, even considering the greatness of Ft. George and DG.

 

Ive seen many varieties of hairy clam across several states.

 

Awesome! Guess I'll be making a trip out there next weekend.

 

If someone can get me a ticket, I'll make it worth your while.

Purdy pleeze.

 

Wouldn't making these tickets for IP sale only do the opposite of what dG wants? I have a feeling there will be lots of people buying max tickets with no intention of even going. But plenty of intention of making $70 per ticket on Craigslist.

 

If anyone can get my girlfriend and I tickets, I'd really appreciate it. We are out of town the next couple weekends and have no way to get down to dG ;( Will hook up b33rz as a TY

 

I was hoping to fly in from minneapolis for this

Bummer that they are choosing not to sell tickets online

 

Hmmm, 3 year anniversary, you have to imagine some of the lambic inspired beers that they have been working on will be available then.

 

I'm ok with tickets being available only on site, even if I don't get to go.

Exactly my reaction.

 

Glad I've been following this thread - we're planning a trip out to Tilamook for some Cascadia Hairy Clam hunting and a stop at the brewery. Guessing the general public won't be allowed on the 30th or the 1st? Will have to push the trip off a week if that's the case.

 

I read that as people will scalp tickets or people will buy 5 tickets so they can get 5 allocations during the party...

 

Who is heading out to dG this week for tickets? I'm planning on it, really don't want to miss the event.

 

Here's what @deGardebrewing had to say about it on, um, another site:

 

I anticipate quite a few of us will be there this weekend. I certainly will be.

 

I saw that too... Didn't mention the multiple tickets. Multiple allocations though... Which means fewer people there, I suppose. That's nice.

 

Well I was randomly planning on making my first trip down to the Oregon coast to camp/visit de garde this weekend, good timing! Definitely getting a token for my future wife and I and going to make it happen. Can't wait to try some more of their beer this weekend.

I am all about the way they are selling tickets, especially since they say they should last 1+ week. I hate online ticket buying. It's nice knowing we can casually show up and get the token this weekend without worry.

They posted to to go bottles on FB today: grand blanc, tres grand blanc, saison melange, saison melange 3, and galaxy hose.

On draft: saison melange, grand blanc, tree grand blanc, saison melange 3, saison premiere, and biere peche

 

I don't read anywhere that buying multiple tickets will allow one person to get multiple allocations. Tickets are for admission, glassware, and drink tickets. If you had an extra ticket for a friend that cancelled or something, you might be able to sweet talk them into letting you have the associated glass and tickets, but I would be VERY surprised if they let people buy multiple tickets in order to stock up when the purpose of their party and ticket sale method is clearly to let many people, especially locals, enjoy good beer and have a cool experience.
