Message KyotoLefty P beers 15089 º places 1059 º 22:08 Fri 6/22/2012 Originally posted by 3fourths Originally posted by KyotoLefty Are there any Japanese beers that people particularly want to try? anything by ise kadoya not imported would be most excellent There haven’t been any great ones recently, but I’ll see what’s coming up. They might be brewing another batch of Imperial Red, which was excellent last year.
Message t0rin0 P beers 102 º places 1528 º 09:17 Sat 6/23/2012 I should be getting one of those brandy Hunahpu growlers next week. Do you guys think it will hold up (in the fridge of course) until the grand tasting? I’ve never kept a growler for more than a week.

It’s a counter pressure filled flip top, so it should last a good while. Plenty long enough for the gathering.

I was expecting one of the old growlers (pill bottles) that had about 1.5 threads per inch and were extremely prone to leaking. Feeling much better about this, thanks.
Message t0rin0 P beers 102 º places 1528 º 09:29 Tue 6/26/2012 This will show the shape of the glass and the basic design although it’s changed a bit and the logo in this picture is smaller than what will actually be on the glass. I’ll get you guys a picture of the finished product either when they send me a picture or when the glasses arrive at my house. http://farm9.staticflickr.com/8162/7448623878_1237ee079b.jpg

Message jhenry04 15:42 Tue 6/26/2012 I’ll be ferrying down some fun kegs from Highwater and Drake’s. Will know more soon once barrels are tasted. Almanac is sending down some cases of the fennel bier de mars and orange wit as well.

On that note, and one more time for anyone new to RBSG, the grand tasting is a bottle share. It is what you make of it. Those beers are what people are bringing, not everyone is going to be able to try everything. Bring some beer that you want to share. Doesnt have to be the whale-est beer.
