Glad I got there early and tried Buckley. Only made it for the first hour before the long trek back. Buckley is so thick and rich. Tons of coffee/rich chocolate and a hint of maple. Outstanding beer. Bottle share was close quarters but I got there at like 10:50. I tried to mingle a bit by plowing through and pouring some OEC. If I poured some for you, that's me. We should get TalkBeer name tags for events. Kept up my quota of meeting 1 new person. Rizdac is a good dude to talk beer with and quite the generous trader. Talked to some folks down near Lansing that we really nice people too. Many 3 Floyds stories from the old days. Quite a lot of swag. Have to agree that the shirt didn't do much for me but my wife loves them for baggy night shirts. Glasses are really cool. Opener is sweet. Water bottle was a nice bonus. Extra bottle sales were nice to grab 2 beers I haven't had. It was in a tough spot. The lines looked rough as I was leaving. Those puncheons are massive. Interested to find out what's inside.
Really appreciated the OEC pour! Nice (kind of) meeting you. I was hanging out in the corner with Dunt and Treebs.
