Boom Gose the Dynamite just moved up several rankings in my (informal) top beer puns list.

Hi, I missed out on the tickets for the Saturday 29th Fest, wondering if anyone has 1 to sell? Thanks!

Wish I could go but we're on baby watch. Wife doesn't think she'd be pleased if I showed up late to the hospital drunk and in leiderhosen. Have fun guys.

I'll be in attendance tomorrow (Saturday) and am extremely excited. No idea how I'm going to sleep tonight.

Cask Days was a definite highlight.

Great Lakes - Dude where's my Czar
Benelux - Sabotoge IPA
Trou Diable - MacTavish something
Beau's Dark Helmet Scwartzbier
Beau's Octobock

were highlights for me.

Finally a Saturday at Oktoberfest with no rain! It was nice not being damp and cold all day. Great time!

Damn, if I knew you were there I would have tried to hook up. Although I was fairly drunk.

Well, being drunk is a perfect way to, um, "hook up"... :lol:

It really was kind of funny (and not a bad beer). Plus it was nice to have a beer name with a pun in it that wasn't a stupid hop related pun. Hop related puns remind me of Chang from Community.

Did anyone camp on site last year? How was it? Cold? Noisy? Tickets are coming on sale soon for this year and I am pondering my accommodations options vs. the bus in from Ottawa.
