Zwanze Day 2016

Interesting that Lord Hobo is off the list. Say what you will about Lannigan, he always seemed to have a ton of enthusiasm for Cantillon and Zwanze. Had a couple of great Zwanze Days at that bar.

Any hints on what's different about the Framboise from Rosé de Gambrinus?

 

looks like 82% raspberries, 18% bluberries, and .05% vanilla (from the label)

 

Wow, losing lord hobo sucks. Really big bummer to lose the one public transit accessible spot in New England. Not worth a commuter rail ride to worcester for me.

 

It's in the spirit of the one from 1986. "The 1986 label states that this beer contains 75% framboise, 25% kriek, and 0.05% vanilla. This is the only Cantillon beer known to have vanilla." So they are doing it similar. Should be tasty

 

You're insane. It's absolutely 100% worth it

 

Too each their own. I would suspect the event will be ticketed...otherwise it could be chaos in that office park.

 

Hopfully Trillium and Armsby are ticketed. It really needs to move in that direction. It's been getting messier and messier for a few years now.

 

Yes but not a bad uber ride

Tickets will be hard for this one... assuming it's ticketed that is

 

Armsby said they've move to ticketed this year after last year. The place was beyond packed and people were in the service hallway for the toast......

 

I think I'd give up the ease of public transit than deal with LH anymore. There's always a massive turn-out with no organization to ease the process like ticketing or something. I wouldn't mind waiting in the bar until 3 if the draft list wasn't so mediocre when compared to other places.

 

What is the deal between Trillium and Hobo? Is there beef?

 

Don't care, Trillium makes the juice blankets. Lord Hobo is a cool bar. The world keeps spinning.

 

When I read this, in my head it was in Seinfeld's voice.

 

List says "1 more place to be confirmed." So, perhaps Lord Hobo missed the newsletter?

 

Would be very surprised to see another New England spot get it, but who knows

 

Well it IS the capital of the beer world these days...

 

No argument from me there, but I have a feel JVR is wanting to spread it out a bit more

 

Never forget: No line, no waiting for the first Zwanze Day at Hobo. That was awesome. It was a big group of people coming together to celebrate Cantillon.
