GABF 2014

[theothermatt]

Honestly debating whether to even go to any GABF sessions now. Thursday is kinda the only one I considered doing after seeing how much good stuff kicked on the first night last year. It will be a tough call.

If you go, go to Saturday Afternoon.

The only session I would completely avoid is the frat party on Saturday Night.

I will now be pouring at Denver Rare Beer Fest on Friday if anyone is going to that....

This is exactly my plans too, but will be in town until Monday night. So excited!

 

[Stubs]

I'll be there for Saturday DAY session. Will have talk beer sticker on my hat. Will be VERY drunk.

 

[jeblikesbeer]

if any of you guys happens to need them my buddy ****** up and got Thursday GABF tickets as opposed to the Friday ones we agreed on(and i had already bought.) Anyone want to buy them so I dont end up craigslisting them to save us a bit of change?

 

[Crescens]

Excited to do WTF on Thursday then GABF members session on Saturday afternoon. Flying in Wednesday and staying until Tuesday it looks like.

First time going to GABF so I'm definitely excited!

I was pondering doing pints for prostates on Friday for the trifecta but I hear non VIP isn't worth it at $100?

I don't know who is telling you that. It's been $100 for the last couple years and this is the first year they are doing VIP. It's sold out each year I've gone and it's been fantastic. I did buy the VIP tickets this year but that's because I wanted an extra hour to drink because I didn't get to everything the last two years.
