Most of the big events by me are ...I hear you, man. Most of the big events by me are in Manhattan, which is close to me by proximity but takes forever to get there. I wind up not going to most of them, because it's just too much of a hassle. That and the price of beer at most of the bars are insane. The event has to be really special, or for a brewery that I really love.Anthony1138https://www.blogger.com/profile/05248412350057541992noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2784114063719933269.post-72136476098642838572011-11-28T17:55:26.137-06:002011-11-28T17:55:26.137-06:00As a special addition to top of my pumpkin brew se...As a special addition to top of my pumpkin brew series last month, I was going to go to this party in Cambridge: A Pumpkin Brew Halloween event by CBC with a $10 admission and take home special pint glass from the event. They had all these pumpkin brews from all over the world on tap and man, I haven't wanted to go anywhere recently, but I was dead set on going. Then the fuckin' snow storm hit just the time I was getting ready to go and knocked out my power for three and a half days! Total bullshit.<br /><br />As for limited brews, I'll keep looking around for bars that have these. Looking but not finding most likely. But even so, I'd really have to want to go... as I hate driving now since I moved here.DrunkethWizerdhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09925215482421450517noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2784114063719933269.post-5060823867005452772011-11-28T17:44:34.823-06:002011-11-28T17:44:34.823-06:00Crazy!

Sierra Nevada did a 30th anniversary night at Rattle 'N Hum in NYC with 40 taps and 4 casks of Sierra beers. The place was packed to the degree that if there was a fire, I'm pretty sure I would have been a dead man. Needless to say, that's when I tried Hellraiser. We can only hope they brew it again and bottle it.Anthony1138https://www.blogger.com/profile/05248412350057541992noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2784114063719933269.post-88780034043350954462011-11-28T15:32:54.122-06:002011-11-28T15:32:54.122-06:00No, but now I desperately want to try it.

These guys gotta step it up and put out a one shot wide array of these in bottles so I can stock up.<br /><br />Weyerbacher just did something this month with an extremely rare one off called Idiot's Drool. The only way to purchase it was at the brewery, at a certain time, everything was super limited, the state only allows them to sell a case of 12 bombers at a time (so you have to buy a case - though you can mix and match I guess), and a bottle of the stuff was 23$ each. <br /><br />It's cruel. <br /><br />http://beernews.org/?s=idiot+drool+&submit=SearchDrunkethWizerdhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09925215482421450517noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2784114063719933269.post-4810868518820659002011-11-28T14:39:32.209-06:002011-11-28T14:39:32.209-06:00I felt the same way about this one.

If you ever have the fortune of coming across Sierra Nevada's Hellraiser chocolate chili imperial stout (http://beeradvocate.com/beer/profile/140/56341), I think it's more in line with what you were expecting. Hellraiser is by far the best chili beer I've ever tasted.Anthony1138https://www.blogger.com/profile/05248412350057541992noreply@blogger.com
