Yea, I didn't try to order food, but it did look like there was a bit of a wait.

Well, this ended up being an extremely well-run event.

I was very comfortable the whole time. It seemed like a great crowd. I never heard of any beers running out early. The wristband tab system was a good one. Beers were good.

I would have the preferred the band be outside somewhere, as it got pretty loud inside the brewery at times when they were playing.

I think 2012 Grand Reserve was my favorite of all the GRs I tried.



Nailed it

still have 2 bottles left



I haven't had 2012 out of the bottle in quite some time. I need to pop one open soon.

The 2012 that we had out of the bottle back in August was a lot better than the 2012 on tap yesterday. Not sure what would cause the aging difference, but it was a better beer.

The 2013 was my favorite yesterday.

Really good event, the BB GR will be phenomenal with some aging on it.

BB GR


Loved.

I thought I didn't bring home my snifter, but I just found it in my box of beer

I had a really good time. Spent way too much money.

For those who weren't at Brou's, the tradition continues on. I broke my phone at Brou's house.

I'm thinking I just don't need a phone anymore. I don't have money to get the darn thing repaired :(

I didn't know other food boarders were there. I would have said hello.
Enjoyed the band.

I need a new phone as well, I just don't want to upgrade and not dropping 600 on a phone.
Anyway, I wonder what Andrew will have next year, anything new?

Yes, but as others have said, I wish they would have been outside. It was too loud in the warehouse area at times.

Agreed, outside would have been better, but a well run event by the Parish guys. Looking forward to next years GRD already

I find this with all of Parish's beers with the exception of canebrake which I don't drink much. Very noticeable in hoptagon, GR and Ghost

Am I the only one who thought the chick talking to everyone in line was on a major power trip?

Probably.

I thought she kept it moving along. That was amazingly quick to get 400 people checked in.

I'm being sarcastic. Everyone was making fun of her for how she talked to everyone like school children.

But you're right. It worked.
