This Sounds Like Fun: Open It!

This is a "community blog project" by our friends across the pond.  I saw the announcement on Pencil and Spoon (Mark Dredge) and thought it was a good idea- then I forgot about it.  Good thing he posted again today about it.

Open It! is, as he says, "about collaboration, sharing and having an excuse to open something special".  The idea is to open up that bottle that you have been saving over the weekend of December 3-5.  Share it with a friend.  Blog, tweet or just talk about it (you can also post on their facebook page here).  There is no better time than now to drink it. 


We will be having friends over on that weekend, and that is always the best reason for me to open up a bottle or two.  Now I just need to decide what to open.  I don't have anything super special, but many good options.  Maybe one of my BrewDog Abstrakts, Victory Wild Devil or one of the Sierra Nevada 30th Anniversary bottles?  Who knows.


Why don't you join us, and Open It!

  1. How about I meet you at your place (or neutral ground), and trade a sample of the Abstrakt for a sample of one of mine? Voodoo Love Child, vintage Snow Goose, Orkney Dark Island (Scottish for Scottish?), original DFH WWS......

  2. @Alexander- tempting, but with 5 friends coming over, I doubt I'll have any left. I will let you know how it stands.

  3. Was just reading about that on Mark's blog (and oddly enough went to yours next). This sounds like a great idea and one that I think I will be jumping on. I have a ton of aging beers right now. Maybe I will break out one of the BBC bourbon aged scotch ales I have. Maybe a bottle of Ithaca Brute (just picked up). Oh, the decisions. No matter what, it will be good. Enjoy whatever you drink Jay.

  4. I will be opening something special for sure. It is set around the time of my first wedding annaversary and I have a decent selection of reserved beers.

  5. Funny enough, I'm doing just that tonight. Rob's coming over to take some more pics, and I realized I was out of beer, save for the cellar!
