FSSB #3 Beerneuring

[JonRobot]

oh. this is a thing i will put extra effort into. it combines two of my favorite things!

as a question, does a place like Gordon Biersch count? i know they brew beer at each of their locations, but i’m not sure that a brewery-restaurant is the same thing as a brewery proper.

Points of clarification

I presume home brewing does not count. The beer must be commercially available. But beer sold at a special event does count , IE if New District does another event before opening officially, that could count.

Looking forward to playing but not competing. For a change. :p

Based on what I recall from last year, yes, each GB location counts.

This. I know I used two of them last year, but never made it to the third (that was my backup in case Bruno threatened to edge me out!).

Trust me: if you want to win everything, focus on riding, not on beer. (If you want to win just this, you can focus on both, but particularly the beer! )

I suspect that if you overindulge in order to win the Beerneuring challenge, you are less likely to win anything else!

Yes, Gordon Biersch counts if you drink a beer that is brewed at that location.

I’m willing to count home brew consumed at the location of where it was brewed so as to support the art of home brewing. However, I am also willing to admit that one of the scariest things that you can hear from a home brewer is, “Here, try this and let me know what you think!” The example of New District would count also.

Gordon Borsch! If you spelled it “Borscht” it would be just perfect!

Heck, you can even use District Chophouse in Chinatown a block away from GB, so long as you bike between the two.

I’m not competing this year. Last year was just…just…too much beer. Waaaay too much beer.

And I still got beat.

Are all the beers sold at any GB brewed at that location? None trucked in from other GB’s? And Sweetwater – I have not been, they are (or were?) owned by the Georgia brewery of the same name, but somewhere I read that they brew some beers on premises? I assume all beers at Dogfishhead alehouse in Seven Corners come from Delaware, and at Heavy Seas in Rosslyn come from Maryland.

Please don’t give the more adventurous craft brewers any ideas.

Edit: Never mind, too late.

We always asked to confirm that the beer was brewed on premises, sometimes brewers collaborate on beer and so the specific beer might not have been brewed at that location. I think some at Cap City are not brewed there – the Cherry Blossom Wit? My recollection is that the GB beers were always brewed there and Mad Fox brews in Falls Church, not in Glover Park. Sweetwater brews in Merrifield, perhaps the beer would have been more memorable if they had brewed in Georgia (did I say that out loud?).
