Local Beer Party at Wedge Deep Deuce

ohmygoodness.
You guys. I found my new favorite pizza. I had never experienced it before, but now I know that I need to return soon. The figs? That cheese? Arugula? All together? Delicioso!
The Beers! They were just as awesome. I couldn’t pick up anything that was light colored that I didn’t like.
The lines were a little confusing, but the people were great! I even appreciated a few of the people that I didn’t know that I had ran into because of the awesomeness that they exuded [again, thanks guys for backing you car up towards mine to open up another spot. That was so awesome of you!]
I can’t wait until the next beer party!

Spring happiness officially began for me here. The atmosphere was so fun and all around my kind of party! It was not too crowded but there was definitely a good sized group of people. Everyone was respectful though of lines and just, well happy.
I started with beer tastings before conquering the food line. Black Mesa, Prairie, Marshall, and Coop reps (just to name a few) gladly poured samples and excitedly spoke of why they loved their beer.
The pizza was fresh and plentiful with veggie and meaty options. I chose to take a couple… Ok, a few mushroom slices that were impeccable.
I enjoyed another beer sample and my pizza on the magical patio on a picnic bench.
Happy spring, everyone!

So glad to be back at another beer party! Pizza, beer, and Unilocalers is enough of a party for me to be a happy guy. Excellent pizza, a wide selection of great local beer, and a group of Unilocalers so awesome I’m inclined to use the word «friend» to describe them,* and I couldn’t ask for a better time. Double/​triple kudos to the brewery crews and the Wedge’s staff, because they handled the madness like professionals. For a bit there, it was right on the border between crowded and madhouse, but they were hustling all night to keep things moving and it was fun. Good music choices too.
Thanks also to Unilocal for the check-​in deal and support. It’s pathetic that I didn’t even make it back to talk to Julie or Chris. My apologies.
I’m a natural tightwad, but the beer parties are the kind of event where you don’t mind spending the money because you get a great value. Had. a. blast.
* I especially enjoyed making plans to conquer Thailand, but I’m starting to notice a flaw or two with that plan now in the sober light of day.

Since I first came to the local beer party in fall 2013, I was so very excited to go again this spring! This event is such a fun time and I really enjoy the opportunity to talk with the brewers of my favorite local beers. I mean, with great pizza and great beer, you really can’t go wrong. It was a perfect night sitting out on the patio with fellow Unilocalers and I will absolutely come again in the future!

This was my first beer party and it was a great time! It was absolutely worth the price (and I love to support anything keep it local!) The pizza of course was amazing as always at the wedge, and they had it setup where the pizza line moved quickly, and they never ran short.
The beer vendors were very friendly and happy to explain the process as well as the different types, and each brewery brought a nice selection to try. There was plenty of beer to go around as well, which usually doesn’t seem to be the case with some events. The one complaint I have with this, is that more brewery’s were mentioned to go than were actually there. However, this was no big deal because 6 was plenty.
The patio area was great, and they even allowed people to go next door for more sitting. The patio was heated so even after the sun went down, it was comfortable.
I will absolutely be going to this event again in the future!

Endless pizza and 25 local beers for sampling all for $ 15 (Thanks, Keep it Local card!)??? Yes, PLEASE.
I was a little concerned about this kind of event in a venue of Wedge’s size, but they made it work. Yes, it was crowded, but all for good reason: delicious pizza and yummy beer. I can’t wait for another Local Beer Party!
