90 degrees in Meadville on Saturday. Gonna be able to smell the schweddy man balls all the way in PGH.

I am surprised there are still tickets available with that list of breweries and beers. Besides being that hot it should work out well for those who did buy tickets.

Yeah I didn't realize until a little while ago that tickets still remain. Maybe the price ended up being too much for people to swallow?

Considering the breweries in attendance and what they're bringing I didn't think the price was that unreasonable.

You'd be hard-pressed to hear much positive feedback about East End in this thread.
It’s sad when Hoof is considered one of our better breweries.
 
What’s the occasion? I’d have just sat there and chugged III and IV bottles all night.
Not sure. They had a blurb in their email this week about adding more bottles to the onsite list.

I am currently packing my truck and pondering how one family of 3 can take so much crap for a weekend camping trip.
 
What were the lines like? That was my biggest concern.

Longest line I waited in was probably about 5 minutes. As long as you had some semblance of what would be likely to kick first, theres no reason to have missed any beer. Pretty much any beer besides the Bokkeryder stuff you could have easily had several pours of if you wanted to. Pretty sure I had at least a 12 oz bottles worth of both of each Bottle Logic beers and 2 Live Gran Cru Volume 1, which btw was hands down the best beer of the event imo, and tasted just as good as the day it was released for BRC 1. ****, Pappy K13 and Zangief were on the whole time from noon until 4 and didn't kick.
 
From my side of the table it was awesome. The crowd was super polite the entire time and pretty understanding when we ran out of that hour’s pour. I agree it was super relaxed all around. Voodoo went above and beyond to help out all of the brewers/pourers with everything from extra tubs for ice and bottles to making sure all of the staff was fed and hydrated. Simply an awesome day all around from both sides it seems.

Nice meeting you and thanks for the pours :)

Apparently next year they are blowing it out even more. Can’t wait!

Echoed all around. I was panicking since we got there on the 'later' side (around 11:20) and it looked like a huge crowd was forming. Once we were inside though, it was much more manageable. Longest lines were for the usual suspects, but I hit a few lower-key breweries first and circled around when the initial wave passed through. Like PSUMike said, there was nothing I wanted to try that I didn't, and you could get multiple pours of heavy hitters with no issue if you wanted to. Very well run event for sure!
 
Any other favorite beers of the festival? I'm surprised I haven't heard anything about those AC beers yet (good or bad).
