Fredericton Craft Beer Fest March 12

Post by Brewnoser » Sun Jan 24, 2016 12:24 pm

I think this is the best place to put this topic.

Surely some of you are going? I plan on it and will have room in the Outback. I'll probably leave during the day. I have an evening ticket - nope no VIP for Jeff ;-)

I'll be focussing on the new breweries. Writing down lists of faults to publish on Twitter. :-p. Ok. Not really but maybe some time soon the emperor's new clothes are gonna have to start to show.

I'll be there as well this year, pouring for Hammond River Brewing. Staying at the Beaverbrook.

Looking forward to it. A stellar lineup of breweries so I hope to get away from the booth and try some various beers.

:mebeer: I'm in
"Twenty years ago — a time, by the way, that hops such as Simcoe and Citra were already being developed, but weren’t about to find immediate popularity — there wasn’t a brewer on earth who would have gone to the annual Hop Growers of American convention and said, “I’m going to have a beer that we make 4,000 barrels of, one time a year. It flies off the shelf at damn near $20 a six-pack, and you know what it smells like? It smells like your cat ate your weed and then pissed in the Christmas tree.” - Bell’s Brewery Director of Operations John Mallet on the scent of their popular Hopslam.

May be the launch of Gray Stone and Beckwith Rd and River Valley. When I was in Maine last year, enjoyed the Geaghan Bros stuff, and loved the people even more. Solid dudes and dudettes.

Totally agree about the folks at Geaghans, top notch folks for sure. Expect a collab beer being brewed with HRB/Geaghans/Maybee happening the day before the freddy beerfest. :headbang:

The endpoint as t>>infinity of all these collab beers is a fractal spiral to a singularity point where all breweries are making one common beer. The Budmiller dream!
Just sayin'.

It's a fun time, especially if you are staying right across the street from the event.

No worries, there's talk of a possible Brewnosers activity on Saturday as well...

I'm in! If people are into it, maybe we could do a bottle share/Brewnosers meeting Friday night after JJ, or Saturday after the fest.
