Michael Jackson in SoCal, Lucky Baldwin's

[fidcastro]

Next Monday (4/19) will be a beer tasting with Michael Jackson at Lucky Baldwin's. I think it is 30 bucks. In addition to the samplings, you apparently also get a Michael Jackson DVD.

I just made my reservation. Anyone else plan on going?

[jsmurphy]

Can't make it :(

[Sunriver]

I want to but its to far away. :(

A friend of mine called tonight, and the 6:30 time is full, but apparently there is also an 8:30 seesion.

If you're interested you might want to call soon. If you need the number pm me.

is it worth the $30?

[fidcastro]

Man! That was so damn worth it.

Sweet Ass Sweet.

We got:

Casta Unica with a salmon appetizer,
Pizza Port SPF-8 with seafood stew,
Pizza Port Cuvee De Tomme with Flemmish Stew,
Grottenenbier (by Pierre Celis) with Rabbit Stew,
Malheur Black Chocolate with chocolate mousse.

Plus, Mr. Jackson was a pretty funny dude, and it was an all around great experience. Considerring I also got a DVD, and I got him to sign one of his books, it was WAY MORE than worth the 30 bucks.

Best beer event I've ever been to.

The beer/food pairings were amazing, and it was just an all around good time. I should have posted as soona s I got home, but I had to continue the great beer night with a Westvleteren 12, Rodenbach Grand Cru, Gouden Carolus Grand Cru of the Emperor 2003, and Great Lakes Burning River Pale Ale. I Know, the last one doesn't really fit with the rest, but my buddy really wanted to ty it.

I'm off to bed. I will sleep very well tonight.

Wow! Sounds great. Glad you had a blast...

Great beer selection! I guess it was to push for his new rare beer club - most of these beers are on the list.
I've managed to try all on that list except the new one from Casta. The Pizza Port SPF-8 is my favourite new try for 2004. Tomme's beers are awesome - I wish he would move to the East coast!

Damn! i missed out, probably wont be a next time...oh well, i missed the microbrew fest at the orange blossom festival too!
i did make the one at santa anita though! so i didn't totally strike out! also i won on the ponys too, i had a good time and came out $2.50 ahead! wooo whooo!

I guess fid had a blast. I went on Sat. the first day of the barleywine fest. I see fid didn't have much of those. Had some fine brews. Hope Tomme DOES'NT go east.

[hopjack13]

HE'S GOIN EAST!? WHAT WILL PIZZA PORT DO?!!!

[Theakston]

Don't panic - Tomme is not going anywhere !! before I get named as starting a rumour. That was me just wishing he would move east - preferably to DC. I know we'll never get him away from the West Coast surf.:cool:
