Make sure you guys all try our (Barncat) Durian Saison, as it may be the greatest beer mankind has ever created.

Jesus, where to even start with this list? I like to think I'm craft savvy but I haven't heard of a lot of the US breweries. People have their top-10 list to try? What are those "can't miss" beers?

Looking for an extra for Saturday afternoon if anyone is looking to unload. Throw in some bottles of that sweetens the deal.

Anybody looking for tickets for Saturday night? I've got two Session 4 (Sat 8pm-12am) tickets I'm looking to sell. Looking for $35 each compared to the $43 it costs on the site.

I agree. I have no idea what to try. Last couple of years I remember there being a couple of articles about "must tries" and I haven't seen that this year (although I haven't really looked).

What's on people's lists?

I added untappd ratings to OR/CA/NY. Some may find this useful.

I don't put much weight into untappd, but I gotta start somewhere, so I appreciated this, thanks!

Does anyone know if the Oregon casks (Cascade, specifically) will be available throughout the festival? Or just at the event at Volo on Saturday night then at the Brickworks on Sunday? The event poster seems to imply the latter, but it's not clear...

The cask days listing definitely has them on it so they should be there.

I plan on trying it but I feel like you're massaging the truth a little bit :roll:
