Bar area. Tall, blue jays cap, Barncat hoody.

I suppose I could just say brown dude without the other descriptors, and you can find me :)

Come say hi! Or don't, I'll be fine.

First time attending so I can't compare it to past years, but I had a really good time. I thought it was very well run, however, I was sitting right at the bar, and never went more than a minute without beer. Pricing was great, $4.50/half pint, $8/pint, $12/30oz jug. Most people seemed to be getting half pints, and the pours seemed very generous.

We got there at around 11:15 (stopped for coffee at Red Brick Cafe so we weren't an hour early) and there was a line-up of 30-40 people. They let us in in 2 groups so it wasn't chaotic at the start. I had almost every beer I wanted to try, no bad beers had.

Have already decided I'm attending next year.

I must have seen you in line. I got there about the same time (11:15-11:20) with my wife. We just missed the initial group of people they let in (20 or so?) and then had to wait on the porch for maybe 10 minutes.

I was initially disappointed with the decision on no samples but we made it work just splitting half pints. The pours were super generous. 3/4 pint glass of Bring Out Your Dead will make you dead.

Will definitely be attending again next year.
