loaf Posted July 20, 2007 Share Posted July 20, 2007 At least 32 beers with artisan cheeses and gourmet appetizers $25/head so it better be some damn fine gourmet appetizers And I know the joke, 'You haven't tasted beer before?" so forgot using that one... but I think it'll be cool. I've never been to one, any of you? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've never been to one, any of you? Seems like a pretty fair price to me. If the beers are cool, that is. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Seattle LawDawg Posted July 20, 2007 Share Posted July 20, 2007 Seems like a pretty fair price to me. If the beers are cool, that is. We had the International Brewers Festival in Portland a couple weeks ago which brought some very interesting beers...some good, some not so much. If its a $25 all you can drink deal, that seems pretty good to me. Some of these, we pay by the taste and it adds up faster than you'd think. The Oregon Brewers Festival is next weekend but unfortunately, I'll be out of town. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Each having about 5-6 beers. It's a free for all and everyone is freaking plowed by the end. There are food booths so that is all extra. But it's a blast.

loaf Posted July 21, 2007 Author Share Posted July 21, 2007 Here's a listing of the beers we had to sample. It was a fun time. They offered a spicy, black bean crusted pork loin and sushi among other foods. Dogfish Head Festina Peche (peach beer) Breckenridge Imperial ESB Original Sin Hard Cider Hoppin' Frog Double IPA La Chouffe Houblon Chouffe Olfabrikken Porter (outstanding!)

Moylan's Hopsickle (triple IPA - too hoppy for me) Dragon's Milk Weyerbacher Double Simcoe Flying Dog Gonzo Imperial Porter St. Bernadus ABT 12 Thomas Hardy's Ale (an old ale barley wine, meant to be matured and kept in the wine cellar at 55 degrees. This was one of my faves) Duchesse de Bourgogne La Binchoise Reserve Unibroue Maudite Baltika #9 Extra Pale Lager (from Russia and extremely tasty) Xingu Black Beer (from Brazil and a great beer) Great Lakes Brewing Commodore Perry Great Lakes Edmund Fitzgerald Great Lakes Holy Moses The Great Lakes Brewing Co also brought along some of the Edmund Fitzgerald (which is their porter) Ice Cream with chocolate fudge.

Did you try the dogfish and how was it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
