Shelton Brothers "The Festival": 21-22 June '13 Portland, ME

Beer and Spirits
#1

I just heard this year the festival will be close to home…should be a beer geek’s dream weekend. Anyone planning on making a drive up? I’ve already talked to some of the locals and it sounds like there’ll be some pretty wild dinners and off-lines.

#2

I’m interested to learn more details, but I will probably be there for the 22nd. I assume Novare Res will have something to do with the event(s).

#3

Yes…and if you and Becky would like to crash here you’re more than welcome. My brother will be back then too…so I’m hoping he’ll join me there as well.

#4

Is anyone else going to this? If so…should we talk trades here as well? I’ve got a good amount of Cantillon, Allagash, and other sours…but would love to get my hands on some more Hill Farmstead beers.

#5

{sigh} … I wish. I have to believe some 3 Fonteinen will be in the house.

#6

I’m ignoring this whole thread.

#7

correct, I think with a new beer to show

#8

The “Intense Red”? I noticed yesterday, on Untappd, that Mark had one of these; I asked him about it, but he hasn’t responded yet. I want to know what’s up with this beer!!

#9

I saw on FB that Cantillon is also pouring some brand new beer for this as well? Sigh…
Hopefully when I am in Belgium next summer I am going to get to take some of this stuff back with me.
Intense Red from 3 Fonteinen? I HAVE to try some of that. As I have said before- I loved what I have had before from them, top-notch beer and as good as anyone.

#10

Yes…there’s going to be some prety cool beers here for sure. I’m also excited to try the Tilquin Prune Geuze.

#11

Prune Geuze?!?!!? [shock.gif] rolleyes

#12

Yeah, ya know, to keep regular after a bender. [snort.gif]

#13

Oh…maybe it was a plum geuze?

#14

Yep…just found out today. It is Plums…not prunes

#15

But if they sun-dry the soaked plums afterwards, then you may have something…

Those are on a short list of things I really hope make it to VA after this festival.

#16

plums sounds a lot better than the dried plums. Please try to try it and report back for us — take pics, too, if possible!

#17

Done and done…heading off to the Fest soon.
