Resurrection of Liquidsolutions.biz
I (Matt Maples) will be providing reviews, blogs, and all out beer commentary as usual.
Cheers!
Matt
It is that time once again. What started as a small surprise 80th birthday party for world-renowned beer writer Fred Eckhardt is coming back around in its fifth year as one of the most anticipated beer events of the year. As always, 100% of the proceeds from FredFest and the related auctions will go to a charity of Fred's choice. This year, Fred has named the Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation as the 2010 recipient of the fest.
As stated above Liquidsolutions.biz has been resurrected just in time to pitch in for the online FredFest auction. If you want to bid on any of these wonderful beers just click on
Liquidsolutions.biz
and follow the ”Auction” link on the upper left side of the screen. Bidding will start on Saturday evening 5/8/10 and start closing 6:00pm Pacific 5/15/10. Check lot details for specific closing times.
Due the ownership change at Liquidsolutions.biz please do not order any additional items when claiming your Fred Fest auction. The auction items are being shipped out of the Hair of the Dog Brewery and Alan will not be able to include any additional beers.
Lot FF10-01 Hair of the Dog “Dave”
One bottle of Hair of the Dog “Dave” 375ml.
Well this just may be the very last bottle of 1994 Dave to ever go up on auction. Alan says there is very little left. This ULTRA rare 29% brew has reached an almost Holy Grail status, many go looking for it but almost never found. A+ at Beer Advocate.
