Anchor Steam Brewery sold

[Drunk Monk]

Looks like I'll be in charge of the list again this year. I'm putting all your names on it. And all your friends. Everyone is on the list. Show up this time.

Seriously, if you want to come, give me a holla. It's less than three weeks away and I'm totally out of training.

When does this wing-dingin', shin-diggin', hoe-down start? I'm teaching until 6ish, but could certainly drop by for a beer or two. I might even bring a friend, if I ever get one.

[Drunk Monk]

PPFY +1. Got it. :drinkers:

I've got 2 most probables (both home brewers) that'll join me. What time do we need to be there? What should we bring?

Seriously, bring whatever you want to contribute to a potluck. We spread out a few tables and lay food out - everything from pretzels to gourmet homemade min courses.

And if you can't muster anything, just bring your thirst.

Looking forward to seeing you guys. Best to get there early while I can still recognize you.

Best to get there early while I can still recognize you.

When is early? Was it around 5-ish last year?

[Drunk Monk]

there's an amusing story behind why 3.

get there whenever.

[Drunk Monk]

Once again, I am in control of the list. Let me know if you want to stop by. And do stop by this year, if you can.

BTW, I assume you've all heard about the new plant plans at the SF waterfront: <!-- m --><a class="postlink" href="http://www.sfgate.com/business/bottomline/article/Anchor-Brewing-plant-on-S-F-waterfront-4288394.php">http://www.sfgate.com/business/bottomli ... 288394.php</a><!-- m -->

I've forgotten the amusing story of why we are starting at 3. I forgot we started at 3 last year. Good thing this forum is here to remind me.

[El Dingo]

OK - Dee Dee and I will fight hell and Giant's schedule to be there. Sign us up!

[Dr. Ivor Yeti]

I designate Mark as my drinker. I'll be working again, as usual.

[Drunk Monk]

it's tomorrow. if any of you want to drop by, just tell them you're one of Gene's ninjas.

Some lingering thoughts...

The upcoming new Anchor Brewery, slated to be built near AT&T park, might be an $80 mill tourist trap.

California Lager is really good, and I'm not a lager man at all.

Hophead Vodka sucks. It's catering to the hop-heavy trend that has been pervading microbrews lately (I blame Lagunitas). Consequently, sources tell me that Anchor can make this stuff fast enough to fill the orders.

[Drunk Monk]

The 13th Annual Anchor Brewery Tour will be April 19, starting at 6PM. As always, my dearest DOOM brothers are all welcome and may bring guests. Just let me know how many. And it's a potluck so bring beer snacks too. :drinkers:

BTW, this has not been announced to Rock Med yet. Givin' y'all the inside scoop, like always. ;-)

[Drunk Monk]

Starting at 6PM. Let me know if you want to come by and I'll add you to the list.

This is LUCKY 13.

The 14th Annual Anchor Brewery Tour will be April 18, starting at 5PM. Again, my dearest DOOM brothers are all welcome and may bring guests. Just let me know how many.

This year, it will be combined with the 'official' Rock Med Awards Celebration, so it will be fully catered, and there will be a bit where our director hands out awards of recognition to our more valorous vols from last year. We'll do that early before everyone gets soused.

BTW, this has not been announced to Rock Med yet. I just sealed the deal. :drinkers:
