I might try to head down for that, those oak aged Oskar Blues look dope. And maybe try the Heaven and Hell with 120 and WWS.

I'm tempted to do that as well. Nothing like making a black and tan out of a 21% and 18% beers!

I'll probably go and get Ally to drive if you're gonna go.

I'm gonna try for at least one of the two days. Work permitting

I'm hoping to hit the Saturday, although its still a long time off, and things can change. Does anyone know the start time? On BA its listed as 5pm for Saturday and 4pm for Sunday.

Oh man...that's SO tempting. I'm going to try and get to one of those days (likely the Saturday) but I'll have to wait until closer to the date to know for sure. Since admission is free any info on pricing or volume of samples? They can't be pouring pints of some of that stuff???

Mike, the owner will likely list details here (as long as ratebeer continues to be up and running - his ratebeer name is swoopjones)

Oh wait, that local forum might not be accessible unless you are a premium member - if that is the case, I'll just post his updates here when I see them.

Yeah, opens to a $12.99 membership or "make a $25 donation" page. Was that some sneaky ploy to solicit Ratebeer funds?

Sorry about that, here's his update from today:

New Editions
Dogfish Fort on tap

That's a good idea. Better yet I'll send you some cash and you can buy beer and tell me how it tastes?
