First session again. Not sure what after. Meat pies at Pleasant House again maybe.
Mmmmmmmmmeat pie. Nummy.

Hoping for Bourbon County Barleywine and maybe a little more Apple Brandy Bourbon County. And 100 other world class treats from all the heck over.

Last year GI brought the goods so I'm assuming they will this year. They'd be stupid not bring the barleywine and the BCBS variation station from last year was magical.

1st Session 3rd year in a row. Can't wait. My future father in law tagging along again this year. He couldn't understand how he was going to get drunk off 3 oz samples last year when I warned him to take it slow. He ended up attempting to smoke a cigar on the bus and pissed on the red line platform. Good times.

 

[jeblikesbeer]

second session(most likely) for me looking forward to it!

 

[kawilliams81]

1st session right now. Supposed to be 5 of us going and 2 guys got 2nd session on accident (no idea how you screw that up?). So, I might be trading for 2nd session, since it seems like everyone wants 1st session.

I know a dood that will take you up on that. Shoot me a BM if it ends up happening!

If i need to switch one I definitely will. Problem is there is 3 of us that will try to switch to 2nd session, and if we can't we will probably just stay with the 1st session. I don't really care either way, just trying to get all of us in the same session.

 

[Down The Hatch]

2nd session. It's my first time going and I'm really excited. It seems like a lot of the local breweries are planning on bringing some amazing stuff.

 

[Treebs]

Let's all not forget they added a Mead and Cider category this year. Heads will roll.

That so very much!

I did not hear this. Not a huge mead or cider guy but will definitely try some. I think its mostly the price vs not sure if I will like it enough to justify cost.

 

[Treebs]

ICBG posted the glass we will all be using. I hope it's as big as last year's glass.

 

[Chicago]

See you suckers in first session!

Is everyone going to 1st session IMBIBE members? Are there enough members that I need to be concerned about done things tapping super fast once the gen pop gets in?

Last year I was probably around the 100th person in and there were a couple beers tapped already when I got up there. Cherry rye being one. Not sure if there are more people at 1st session over 2nd or vice versa?

Imbibe members get a hour early entry, that is what I am concerned about. If a couple hundred get in early, **** outa luck. Obviously not Imbibe right now, but considering just for this.

The "hour early" entry ended up being about 25 minutes since they let everyone in without distinguishing between imbibe or not. Once everyone was checked in then they let people upstairs that we're imbibe members. It was a pretty bad process overall, but when I finally did make it up I definitely saw crowding going on. People just weren't leaving the big name tables. I was ok with it because while everyone wouldn't leave Cherry Rye or King Henry I had BA Abraxas, Black Note, a few Lost Abbey tracks, etc.

Now that there are more
Imbibe members this year I think the hour early advantage will be even key.

First session again. Hoping for more Moose Knuckle.

 

[Bill2]

I also happen to be ISO of two session 1 tickets, I managed to find two tickets for sale after they sold out, but they were for session 2 and all my beer nerds are going to the first session. :/ If for some reason anyone wants to swap, I will be eternally grateful.

 

[beachstrength49]

Really want to make the trip out here for the event and am currently ISO one ticket to the late session. Anybody that has an extra ticket or knows someone that does please message me and let's talk. Hope to see you guys there next month. Cheers!!!
