Zwanze Day 2014: The thread

[SeaWatchman]

"Dear friends, the Zwanze Day 2014 will take place on Saturday 20/09/2014 at 21.00 Brussels time. The list of participant bars will follow in the coming week. Cheers !"

No official confirmation yet on the beer or the places, but hopefully something fairly close to everyone who really wants to go!

That's what you get for being that guy who has a Fall wedding.

LYMI.

I'm just happy it's not on the day of a Rutgers home game. Somehow I've lucked out with Fall commitments not being the same day as home games

 

[thrashD]

People in my life need to stop getting married on Zwanze Day.

 

[ridglens]

mmmmm, rager acquired.

 

[willseph]

If anyone will be in Belgium, get at me. I'll be there for work for a couple weeks and that weekend just happens to be one where I have nothing to do.

hopefully this years isnt shitty!

it's hardly ever about Zwanze itself to me... there's usually a bunch of other awesome beers

I liked the beer last year. Just got a bottle of it the other day.

agreed.

 

[JohnfromPurdue]

Unless locations change, I'll probably skip WLV and drive down to Louisville for this. I'm just not cut out for the Chicago big time, plus it gives me an excuse to hit up the bourbon trail.

 

[pharts]

I'll prob be attending in NYC. Unless Detroit gets one.












Lol

Dammit, I was working on getting one just to send you a picutre.

Suck it, Clark.

 

[black_cascade]

Missed out the past 2 years because other stuff came up. NOT THIS YEAR!

 

[xnicknj]

Wait. It just dawned on me that I will actually be in Brussels on the 20th. Uhhh...

Man, that's on Stanford's bye week. Awesomesauce. Hopefully they do it at RR and Mikkeller like last year to give me options. But it'd be hard to beat Akkurat...

 

[sobeleg]

Have to schedule a work trip to Texas soon, may have to schedule it before that weekend and pay Touch_My_BrettSacch a visit to attend at Jester King, otherwise it will be the decision of a relaxed, easy Zwanze at Alewife or a packed Zwanze at Spuytin probably with some crazy bottles or drafts on...

I'm going to whatever place has FF on tap.

How was it last year? If you went to either of those spots.

 

[stupac2]

I was at Akkurat.

 

[Lurkaholic]

Excellent. Fingers crossed we see it in Vancouver again this year.

Can anyone confirm the rumors that this year's zwanze is a blend of 3yr old iris and kriek that's been further dry hopped?

 

[Os]

I'll probably try HF again this year

I think you mean "Alewife was packed to the gills, no one could get any beer, all they had on draft was bud light lime and it was a terrible time. NO ONE SHOULD GO THERE"

It is the Cuvee Florian, the same beer that Jean blended for his son's 18th birthday. It's a blend of 3 year old Iris and Kriek that was lightly dry hopped with Brambing Cross hops.

Still hasn't been confirmed by the brewery.

Want to bet your stash on it?

 

[matedog]

Another Zwanze Day, another god damn wedding I have to go to.

 

[regularjohn]

cant wait to see all the new zwanze day glassware coming out

 

[SeaWatchman]

It'd take me too long to grow it back.

 

[user 306926]

Montreal or Toronto. Name the place (Volo or DDC). I can make er happen.

 

[tehzachatak]

Thank god this isn't on Yom Kippur again.

Weekend at Akkurat: BOOKED.

Misc info: So I was at Zwanze Day in London in '12, first year the event had a London venue. And the venue was - and still is - the Earl of ****ing Essex??? I mean, it's a great pub, but why they hell are THEY hosting Zwanze Day and not Craft Beer Co, The Rake, Cask or The White Horse? Still, I was not complaining - Earl of Essex was a 15 min walk from my house...

This. There has been talk that it wouldn't be this just a couple weeks ago. I'd be incredibly happy if it was though.

 

[drgarage1]

Hmm... I might be on a bachelor party in northern Michigan that weekend. Hoping it gets bumped to the 27th...
