Apologies if this was asked and answered in the preceding 20 pages, but does HF tend to put anything special out in their retail bottle shop for FOFA, or should one assume that the current list is reflective of what will be for sale on Saturday save for anything that sells out beforehand?

Nothing special although I think the cans they dropped last year were pretty close to the festival even though not specifically for it.

I’ll be there. What more do you want dude? Jeeze.

 

[BadJustin]

Car is gassed up, food purchased, bags packed, coolers ready for ice, case of Old Milwaukee tall boys (cause they seem to not sell it in VT).

I’m ready. Hitting the road at 5 am. I’ll be in the NEK by 10–11, let’s party fuckchops.

 

[BadJustin]

I should probably get the tickets in the car too before I forget.

Fridge 1/3 is officially full, almost.

That would no doubt be a selling point were I going. But I asked because I'll be in MI, but a friend of mine will be there and asked if I wanted him to pick anything up on my behalf, so I was trying to gauge whether the posted retail list at present would provide a proper basis upon which to answer him.

The retail page is accurate and real time. As stated, nothing special. It’s a mob scene up there, Srs.

Gonna miss you this year at the house man.

Gonna miss you this year at the house man.

The only thing sustaining me this weekend is that I've got a big fun annual bottle share planned with a bunch of buddies in Virginia. It will keep me from following what's going on up there and wishing I'd just jumped on a plane tonight. But it still hurts.

So stoked to be going to this on Sat! Anyone around Stowe interested in meeting up and grabbing a beer at Alchemist today (Friday), let me know. Talkbeer4evas!!!

 

[BadJustin]

Attention all FOFAers: we will be doing the bottle raffle again this year, benefiting the local after school educational program. The magnum list to be raffled is crazy. Wicked crazy, actually.

Tickets will be $5 each, no limit. Bring cash—a lot of cash—and support local kids while maybe winning a magnum or two.

(The ATM at the Willey’s Store has been out of order this summer, so don’t count on getting cash there.)

Thank you, and I look forward to seeing y’all tomorrow.

Looking for a DD ticket for one of our wives. Message me if you are around tonight (staying in Stowe).

 

[into the white]

I hate to be that guy, but if anyone in or passing through Greensboro has two spots in their car to spare my girlfriend and I are still looking for a DD to hop in on. I am currently being dropped off by my Airbnb host but I would feel much better about sparing them the trouble if anyone has room. Staying near the brewery but could meet in gb proper (Willey’s?). Happy to split any pre-arranged driver costs or throw a dd attending the festival some thank you beers.

CBB, I will not be around til the am, but if you’ve got two spots I’ve got that DD ticket for you. In truth I’ve probably got it anyways and am happy to pass it on to your wife if possible but I need to hang onto it until I’ve got my ride situation squared away.
