Troll's obvious, so forgive me if I ignore everything else you post from now until the end of time. Yep. I've been posting on and off for nine years just so I can troll. You got me figured out. Be my guest and ignore my posts. It won't hurt me any. However, if you'd be so polite as to indulge me, I...

Sadly, I think I agree with you. I'd be much more excited by a bigger Sierra Nevada push.

You may want to give a bottle a try - it's drinking really well IMO. It's more like a hopped porter than a black IPA anyways.

Full pours meaning pints? Ooof - too much BC barleywine IMO. 5oz was a nice size for these ones.

Blue Monk was a nice little pub - would be worth revisiting on a quieter day.

Is there still most of the Rochefort 10 left to hit or was that tiny amount released (and long gone) it?

I will miss the relentless stout onslaught of the past two stout nights - Having some 20-25 glasses of stout on the table was very cool :)

Not to far away from there I enjoyed a warm bottle of Brewdog Paradox while overlooking Eileen Donan castle. I won't say it was the best beer ever but considering that beer is really not very good it was a damn sight better than it had the right to be! :D

A great time as always. Loved the early admission, and selfishly hoped it would never end :) That being said, I found the crowd extremely manageable and there was barely any waits to get up to the serving areas. As an event organizer myself, it's always challenging to get the correct # of porta-pot...

Can there be any doubt at this point that this event is World Class? I'm not sure if any other single festival world wide could be considered to have a substantially better lineup than this. Clearly world class, but it depends on what your definition of 'better' is. GABF boasts 700 breweries and 3,...

I remember the Danish Beer Dinner at beer bistro being pretty solid too - easily the best beer dinner I've been to.

I'd mention multiple Saloon Leagues, but I'm not sure they count :)
