Jeff...
ReplyDeletejust to note. Lucky Lab told me, they're not calling a Barley Wine fest, but a Strong Ale fest. They will serving RIS and some Belgian's too.
Hmm, why do they list it thus on their webpage? Curious.
ReplyDeleteThat was my question. I noted that they ahd Rssian Imperial Stouts and Belgians on the tasting list. So, I emailed asking about the RIS/Belgian angle. They explained it's really a "Strong ale fest."
ReplyDeleteAfter coming back from the BW fest at Toronado in SF with 54 BW's. A few RIS and belgians in the mix doesn't bother me, but it is a misguiding Title.
Jeff, how do you find out about all these awesome HOTD events? Is this one open to the public?
ReplyDeleteYou are mistaken about the address: The HOTD dinner is at 12th and Stark. The phone number is 226-1419.
ReplyDeleteI also understand that Alan is holding a dock sale on Earth Day (March 20th)
Dave and Suds Sister--I got that off the the Brewcrew listserv (Google it), and people were reporting that it was happening at both places. I took a guess based on a report from someone who had actually made a reservation. You may have to try both to nail it down. (Obviously, I haven't signed up!)
ReplyDeleteI made a resrvation, that's how I know where it is.
ReplyDeleteIf I may be frank--what's the use of your website if the info is incorrect? Have some standards!

ReplyDeleteFrank is an odd name for a woman. And I resent that--I do have standards, low standards.
