[RedCoffee]

**** didnt even see the food menu haha

They are gonna clean up big time on the no outside food thing. Those prices are clearly set with a hard rule against outside food in mind.

The scheduled Dark Lord taps are gonna be a shitshow of shitlordian proportions. I can already envision the neckbeard stampede at 9 AM to get across the grounds for a pour of Handjee.

"Turtledogg" sounds like a turd related euphemism.

"Oh I got a real turtledogg going on here, where's the *******?"

That's a big list, but I'll be happy with about 8 of them so those are pretty nice odds! There's only one that sounds terrible to me and that's "greatest teachable moments" mainly due to the orange peel as I'm not a fan of orange flavours in stouts or chocolate. Oh and I swear macromachine sounds like the sleeper hit, it sounds really good to me assuming the tangerine is not too prominent.

The timed tappings seemed like an odd choice to publish. Like I enjoyed in years past when you would just randomly walk up to a tent and be surprised with a variant sitting there. Now, what, are there going to be lines forming at certain tents for the timed tappings of BVDL? There will be no way to control that. People are just going to look at their phone and see it's 2pm and swarm the tent. Should be funny to watch at least!

So my strategy will be to go to the farthest tapping station from wherever Handjee goes on and hope the .rar guest taps are on.

I can already envision the shitfaced, falling over stumble for the 7pm Pour of Handjee

Bored at work so I made a handy spreadsheet that would help you in a quest just like this:

Handjee & Chemtrail tapping at the same time at other tents. Might make it easier to get.

Easier to get Handjee & Chemtrail? Hype/Secondary says Monster Tones is the desired beer haha.

Barrel Theory will be bringing Super Saiyan & Purple Lambo

quinnsi I have a question on the Beer Temple shuttles - the one-way options back to Chicago it asks you to pick a departure time (currently 1:30p/4:30p/8:00p, look like they are actually CHICAGO departure times). Is this option meaningless for a one-way return trip because return shuttles are just on a first come basis at 12p/3p/6p/9:30p?

[ApocalypseZombie]

Barrel Theory will be bringing Super Saiyan & Purple Lambo

Also, it seems that Hampton Inn and Homewood Suites in Munster are both banning bottle sharing at the hotels this year. End of an era.

This real or was this a big troll?

Seemed real, but yeah probably a troll.

 

[Ferowcious]

Seemed real, but yeah probably a troll.

One of the excuses I saw was there was a youth baseball tournament and teams were staying at those hotels.

Those prices through the weekend were ridiculous. I can't imagine youth travel baseball putting up like $300 per night for those Munster rooms

 

[KevSal]

Do they release bottle counts on the variants?

 

[ChaQuiseman]

Do they release bottle counts on the variants?

They haven't in the past. There will typically be a bottle count marked on the bottles themselves, however (ex: 123/846).
