Who will I be seeing tonight?

We get in too late, so no FIBs til tomorrow. Speaking of tomorrow, we're showing up fashionably late (for FIBs anyway).

I might have to actually learn where else I can park.

So 7 am instead of 6am? There is a dirt lot directly across Mound you can park at.

I thought the FIBs traditionally closed down Kuhnhenn the night before and just started the line at 2am.

Not this FIB.

We're thinking 8. I got up too early for work this week. Coming from slightly closer than usual so there's that. Actually, I just realized a third of my drive is cut out. Yesssss!!! (Staying with a different relative this trip).

This is the best parking spot.

Hmmm I wonder what the line would be like around 9:30 probably the earliest I could get there by.

Long, angst filled and filled with terrible conversations about trading for walezbro.

This it true

Not sure anyone is landing any whalezbro for what being offered this year

I still think BB4D and BBBW are solid trade commodities (if I ever traded any).
But in the minds of some of the newmoneyhomies I'm sure they are eyeing Loons with every 4pack.

It won't stop them from talking about trading for walezbro.

A different post on BA has a different list. No idea what is what, I guess.

Edit: Nevermind. I think the pic I posted is accurate.

 

[abawol01]

So this was 2013.

I got Kuhnhenned.

 

[My Queens]

Pretty sure both of those pictures are from prior years...

So confused...

 

[My Queens]

But I blame BA entirely.

Best part is, it wasn't the "2011" that gave it away, since we all know that's relatively "fresh" for Kuhnhenn brews.

Saw this post from 2013 and feel it's pretty unlikely that the exact same beers are being served in 2015:

DAT KUHNIE WEIZEN ON DECK.

By the way, I SHOULD be there tonight, but that's entirely dependent on getting a ride from my buddy.

Will definitely be there tomorrow for pours, and probably bottles. I'll keep my eye out for you, Andy! Justin - still no idea what you look like; will be on the lookout for a Tom Selleck type.

I thought the FIBs traditionally closed down Kuhnhenn the night before and just sleep in on Saturday.

FTFMe.

 

[steimie]

This is last year. I'm dumb and should have known better.

You will likely miss him if that's what you are looking for. That disappointment feel when I met Justin. Great guy and all but he's no Tom Selleck. then again, I am not a chocolate wasted toddler. Not that I haven't put forth the effort to become that.

Justin is a dead on clone of Tom Selleck, you will not have any problem spotting him!

Yes. 2014 and 2013 respectively.

 

[trickytunadicky]

Yay! Missing nothing!
