Zwanze trip report from Trillium:
Showed up around 1:30pm, a bit late. But that was fine bc there was no line to get in. This was a ticketed event, I think they sold around 150, so it wasn't too mobbed or anything like that, but I'm sure for kickoff the line to check tickets would have been a pain.
So Trillium had 2 bars open, here were the selections at each:
There was a huge line for the main bar, as it turns out bc the Cantillon Kriek keg was pouring slow and thats the one everyone wanted. but no line at the front bar.
I used my 3 Cantillon pours for
- Classic (excellent)
- Kriek (I actually don't love it, drank it anyways)
- Iris Grand Cru (tasted like our Iris I have had)
my buddy had a Mamouche so I had some of that, I like that one, subtly different than the classic
For Trillium beers I had
Double Red Stonington (super tart raspberry)
Peach Soak (nice and a bit sweet, enjoyable)
Blueberry Soak (ditto to the above)
Mettle
Night and Day (coffee stout to end the day)
What was nice was they has 5 and 10 ounce pours of everything so you sample a lot. and once the Kriek was gone there was no lines.
here was the salami pizza I got which was 10/10, excellent from Brewers Fork. They had a truck there with wood fired oven. next to the pizza is the Blueberry Soak
Ice cream was themed for the day
I got the framboise, was awesome, Parlor is a 1 woman company so it was cool to support them
and last but not least, the Zwanze (here are a bunch of pours in the flute glasses)
This was great, but I didn't get a ton of blueberry, more like a Framboise w/ bourbon vanilla beans.
we were there for last call, I think the last 2 people to leave and they just gave us our last beers for the effort
