Tickets should go on sale around June 9th, call the Stone Company Store before coming down: 1-(760)471-4999 x1600. They should also become available at the Stone Online Company Store at the same time: https://www.stonecompanystore.com/ Has any one here tried Full Sail Session Lager? An All-Malt Premium Lager, 5.1% Alcohol by Volume, golden-yellow color with a noticeable but not intrusive hops flavor balancing the maltiness, no off flavors or noticeable adjuncts. It's only being sold in 12 packs of old fashioned 11 oz. "stubbies" (short, brown glass bottles) with retro paper labels and a "Paper/Rock/Scissors" game under the cap. For those "Hoity-Toities" with fond memories of Lucky Lager, imagine if that beer tasted GOOD and you have an idea of what the Orogoneans at Full Sail have done. And for those Brits who know what a Session Beer is, this isn't one, with 5.1 ABV it's no "Mild" style. Thanks for the update Freddie, looking forward to going again this year for the 10th anniversary beer festival. & will definitely try that Full Sail Session Lager. My latest favorite is... 7.25%ABV / 1.062 O.G / 27 BUs Temptation: Is it beer, or is it wine? "Aged in French oak wine barrels for twelve months with distinct characteristics of fruit and subtle oak" sounds more like a description of wine than beer. But, of course, Temptation is indeed beer. Actually, Temptation is a Blonde Ale Fermented with a special strain of yeast, then aged in French oak chardonnay barrels. Flavors of wine and oak absorb into the brew throughout twelve months of aging. During this aging process, a secondary fermentation occurs using a yeast strain disliked by most brewers and winemakers called Brettanomyces. The "Bret" gives Temptation intriguing characteristics and a pleasant sourness. Temptation is re-fermented in the bottle to create its carbonation--a process commonly used to make fine champagne and sparkling wine. Spent yeast forms a thin layer of sediment to remain in the bottle.
