Extreme Beer Fest Boston, MA

Anybody going to this? I am going to the first session on Saturday.

I would love to go...but we will see what happens.

Its not until Feb 21 and it costs 40 bucks. Totally worth it, I went last year and it was awesome.

I'm going to session 1 and probably night of the barrels the night before!

Im going to try to get all 3 days off so I can go

I volunteered at the last one, free admission and free waffles, and free case of beer at the end of the night! Oh and a free t-shirt!

Dont know if I can make it yet but im going to try

We try to make the beeradvocate fests when we can - they are awesome, and I think I did order tickets for Saturday session 1. The extreme fest is my favorite of the lineup, but it has totally been worth the trip every time.

I am so pumped about Three Floyds being there.

I am also going to Session 1 on Saturday.

Ummmm... Just what I need before flying off to Texas. Since I pretty much need to be drunk to get on a plane I can get a headstart!

PTN

I'll be at the Night of the Barrels with the misses... a handful of couples from our club are all going together.

I too will be at session 1. I'd love to make the Night of Barrels but with my unpredictable travel schedule there is no guarantee I'll be home in time.

Ill be at night of the barrels and session 1 saturday! Hope to meet up with some of you!

I have only attended the Night of the Barrels for the last couple of years. The Saturday sessions tend to be a lot crazier. With that said I won't be attending this year unfortunately as I'll be in Arizona.

I think im going to be able to make this...

Just bought my tickets...cant wait

The final list of beers is up on the website and I am drooling.

I'll be going to the first session. I would love to meet up with people and possibly go someplace to eat following. Besides the occasional meet, I rarely get to talk with other homebrewers.

If nothing else, feel free to say hi if you see me. I'll be easy to recognize as the fat, bearded man with a beer in his hand.

Wish I had read this thread sooner. Went to see about tickets and it's sold out.
Maybe next year.

I cant wait

My Aunt has a condo walking(to) stumbling (from) distance from Cycleorama :rockin:

Feel free to say hi to me as well I will be the guy with the huge red beard.

We'll have to figure out some sort of super top secret HBT handshake or something so we all know who we are.

.... or we can just talk to people and ask around... either or.... which ever is easiest.

We could all dress up like members of a mariachi band

Too bad there aren't HBT t-shirts that would be the easiest way.

not gonna lie... . I like the mariachi band concept

Hard at work in the ICU all weekend. (Which means I have to hide my white zin in a Dunkin Donuts coffee cup and chew a lot of gum.)

How was the night of the barrels?

I will be at the first session today so if anyone is going.

Tip

If you are going to Bukowskis for a bite to eat and beers prior to the NOtB DO NOT budget enough time to get half cocked
