Pretty nice lineup.....Fluffer Gone Wild would be the only new tick for me, though. :(

Will probably hit up their tap takeover at the Craftsman on Friday, however.

I think Kuhnhenn has a takeover at Beer Authority on Saturday as well.....they actually have a few Kuhnhenn things on right now (including FgW).
 
And Bierkraft is having a Bruery event tomorrow to top it all off:

White Oak
White Chocolate
Mischief
Or Xata
Batch #1000
Hottenroth
Oude Tart
Melange #3
Bottleworks XII
Tart of Darkness
 
my liver (to me): why oh why did you have to have kids? we could've cut out of work at 1p and hit up ALL of these events of awesomeness.

me: <looks down at penis for response>

penis: <looks up at me and liver> how could i know that all of that would lead to something terminal...like kids...and prevent us from going to amazing beer events?

ba-da-bum

WTF??!! How did I not see this yesterday? I bleed Kuhnhenn. Nice line ups throughout.
 
Never did make it out last night. Will probably try and see what's out there for leftovers today
 
As a sidenote, I did notice a couple of regular Kuhnhenn kegs (Fluffer, etc.) floating around NYC lately as well as Good Beer tapping 2011 Solar Eclipse. Must be Kuhnhenn time right around now in NYC which is great to see.
 
Yeah they've got Fluffer gone wild at the Jeffrey for growlers and I've seen it a few places around Brooklyn this week. Hoping some Kuhnhenn sticks around until Saturday afternoon at Torst.
 
Berzerker is still on at Brouwerij and they just tapped Westbrook Guzu. (Gose with Yuzu juice). Gotta get up there after work. Probably around 6:30-7 if anyone's interested in heading over

Was at Barcade on Saturday Night, and they had the Kuhnhenn Fluffer Gone Wild. Pint for $6!

Hah was also there late night Saturday. Hell of a lot better than $9 for 14 oz at Torst or whatever absurd price they're charging

Took the day off work, I'll be camped out at the bar hopefully by noon.
 
Well I'd expect I won't run into you then (as that would be a marathon session). Enjoy

Well, since the good stuff probably doesn't go on until three, there's a decent chance I'll still be there. I'm just getting there early to get a seat at the bar.

I will stop by around 6ish. Place will be mad packed as always for these events but hopefully something I'd like to sample will still be on.
 
u mad, tho?

Hahaha I'll always love Torst for the opportunity to try beers that I can't even pronounce the names of, but yeah the pricing also pisses me off for stuff like Fluffer when you see what other bars are charging.

I think last year the first beers to kick (Vanilla and Fou Foune) didn't even kick til like 6ish. Considering there's nothing there on that level you'll probably be alright

Yeah, I'm not too concerned. BC Vanilla last year was a treat.
 
I just got to the bar a few minutes ago, and I'm pretty sure I heard one of the bartenders mention a keg of Lawson's. Didn't catch what beer though.

Really really really hope that doesn't kick by the time I get there. Hopefully Double Sunshine?
 
How's it looking down there, and prices? Saw that they have Double Sunshine– sick stories, bro!
 
I missed out on DS, but 05 World Wide Stout on draft was worth the price of admission alone. So crazy crowded, but a cool event overall!
