December Bay Area Bottle Share at ISO

[Milksteaks4me]

I'm just reiterating some of the points from the bay area thread to get a unified info thread.

The tasting will take place at 2:00PM on December 19th. Similarly to the earlier tastings held by TB people, let's bring two bombers per person, or two 12 ounce (or 375?) beers to replace a bomber.

Here's the address of the place and some more information.

ISO: Beers
75 E Santa Clara Street #120
San Jose, CA 95113

+ Buying a drink or buying a bottle that you would normally buy anyway for everyday drinking would probably go a long way for them to be enthusiastic about having us back
+ They will supply us with a glass and water probably, once again - tipping helps. Finding a nice place to do shares sounds like something worth investing in to me.
+ The nice thing about ISO is that the bartenders are beer fans so expect them to come hang out with us.
+ ISO is not a restaurant and we can bring our own food. So if interested, we can order some pizza at some point. There's also tons of other food options nearby.

Apparently there's going to be an event at ISO starting at 5:00 but this place is pretty big with lots of large tables outside, so I'm sure we'll be fine. Cheers!

I SHALL BE THERE.

Would not be the worst thing if you said you were coming here so that OP can get a decent head count.

Also, there is a Toys for Tots Gift collection type event happening — bring a toy for the kids!

Count me in. Shoutout to Milksteaks4me and jacktse for picking up the reigns from snuffy707 and stupac2 before him. See you guys there!

awwwwwww yisss so in!

 

[HeavySpeedway]

I'll likely be there. Starting at 2 means I should be able to get home the least expensive way, too. LOL

Will you relax your two bomber guideline if one of the bottles is a Kiwi Herman? Ah hell, what am I saying? I've got to unload enough beer that I'll bring two bombers *and* a Kiwi.

Is the 2 bomber a minimum? If I show I'm bringing like 3-4 bombers.

Only?

I guess you have to get it all in that backpack

Ha this is definitely more than ok!

It appears I may not be able to make this event. If I'm in town, I will be, but it would seem that I may be heading back to San Diego on the weekend (all dependent on whether or not I have any onsite interview in the Bay Area the week of Christmas, and I find it pretty unlikely that I will).

I thought it was Saturday, saw you said Sunday, then realized it really was Saturday.

I could have probably stayed on Saturday for this, as long as the drive down took me it sure would have been a better use of time. Oh well...

If its bart accessible I'll be at the next one.

If San Jose doesn't have bart running to it, is it even a real city?

Imperial stout trooper sighting makes me happy
