MunchE posted:I just went to the LA Extreme Beer fest and on top of being surprisingly decent and inside there was no tomfuckery regarding water, in fact they had a bunch of those big water dispensers and gave me no poo poo about my metal water bottle There was absolutely nowhere to sit. loving amazing beer, but I'd give anything to have a sit somewhere. 2018 is a lock for sure.

MunchE posted:BL is cool as heck but their events are always way too loving crowded, I did 1 day of Week of Logic 2 years ago and wanted to die 2016 was a poo poo show, it was so poorly run (and tiny). Definitely turned it around (helps they bought the 3 other buildings next to them), last year and this year was a breeze to get a beer. Recommending showing up saturday for their signature Fundamental Observation pours. Trip report day 1: The BEST beer by far was a collabo they're doing with Great Notion Called Paisley Cave Complex. Burbon BBL blueberry s'more stout. We ended up getting 3 pours of it. Watch for it and hord the gently caress outta it.

Sorry my dude you had a bad experience. On their social media updated everyone on sunday that they secured 100 spot lot down the street from a new brewery called...brewery X. if you give it another chance just a heads up.

The guy liked a beer and wanted to share that with the thread. I get that you're all past stocking your cellars with the flavor of the week and the hoarding advice (plus the unfortunate spelling mistake) are probably the major issue here but still. Failed to take the temperature of the room, which is the ultimate poster sin. I'll just be more measured (and run it through spell check). TY my dude. Also, for day 2 at week of logic I had a wonderful sour wine barrel aged called "Iris Pseudacorus". Hellish parking was still hell, so no change on that front.

Biomute posted:Mikkeller is somewhat garbage. I'm happy they're doing distro for stuff like Tired Hands and Jolly Pumpkin or I'd never get to taste it, but they're a contract brewery that has ditched quality for novelty. Beer Geek Breakfast was a good beer back in the day, but that's about it as far as I am concerned. There is one beer geek breakfast dessert about 40 miles away from me and I periodically think about driving to go pick it up. An import (Lervig Aktiebryggeri) no less, not the one they're brewing now in SD. incoherent fucked around with this message at 01:21 on Sep 25, 2018 |

air- posted:Had a few hours to kill at LAX and dropped by Firestone Walker Propagator in Marina Del Rey. Good draft list including Barrelworks sours as well as some of their barrel aged beers. I really liked Mother's Milk, the collab with Creature Comforts. Beer tasted like liquid dulce de leche with raspberries. It's a good spot, doesn't get the weird beers from the HQ sadly but anytime you see a creature comforts collab it's going to be quality AF. El Segundo brewery is exactly in opposite direction so if anyone has a 3+ hour layover check them out as well.

Last time I was in it was 2014 and I still haven't finished all the beer from that round. Shout out to Zam the greatest trustee of all time. Yup they won't stop emailing me and targeting on facebook. Super thirsty imo. Modern times looks like the better deal for 2019. (bottle club chat?)

MunchE posted:Yeah TBH I think the whole thing is bullshit. At least they do their non-hazebro poo poo on Eventbrite so it doesn't effect me much. They argued that it was because they didn't want to sit on the beer for weeks waiting for people to pick it up because they didn't have cold storage for it which is semi-valid I guess. But honestly somehow it's become a huge part of the "culture" of hazy IPAs that you have to sell them off a pallet at the back of your brewery and everyone is doing it just because that's what that crowd wants and expects. Lineups for beer attract the absolute worst of the beer scene and then you've got 20x the capacity of the tasting room on site so you can't even enjoy anything but the IG photo you got of your new hypewhale while you're there. This describes the vibe and style The Bruery is going after with offshoot to a T.

air- posted:Went over to Modern Times and I like that they mostly kept the vibe of the space intact; Commons was still around on my last trip to Portland. Not shocked at how the most hyped beer I was told to try was also most underwhelming: Suggestion of Mass, the collab with JWB. Wish they'd 2oz pours a la Cascade since even 5 oz of the big hyper sugary stouts was tough to get through. 3x 5oz stouts also cost over $20! When I went to portland and the MT taproom, I literally heard in a huffy voice on some patrons way out "They're charging CA prices in portland"  Which was true, they were the priceiest even factoring in a day trip to de guarde.

Zam posted:Maybe First Draft does a better job because there are never empty glasses sitting around and the taps are spaced well enough over two floors that it is never crowded. Seems like a fine option to enjoy pints when operated properly, but I can see issues with places that don't ensure taps stay rotated and tables are clean. I've been to east coast implementation of these PYOB (they're all buying the tech from the same company) and it looks like First Draft adheres to the same template (keep the glasses clean, accessible and clean). My only negative mark is they didn't handle nitro beers very well and I was disappointed with ruined pours of campfire stout. They kept rotating out empty taps extremely quickly, as fast as they could replace it and update untapped. Plus they have a rose tap so they're going to do OK. incoherent fucked around with this message at 03:08 on Dec 27, 2018 |

Furious Lobster posted:Spent 1.4k on 6 cases on FOb1; worthwhile investment considering I received a ROI average of 900% per bottle. Individual bottle sale would be $150 per 3F Seasons bottles. The stories of the first few FO release dinners were legendary. Buy a ticket for dinner at the brewery and then you had the option to buy as many cases as you could haul.
