That feels like a recipe for making people mad that they missed out on something just because they didn't know it was there. Even just listing breweries doesn't really help anymore when many breweries produce 100+ variations etc.Cass wrote:FOBAB in Chicago doesn't release their beer list until you walk in the front door.

There's 200 awesome beers at a festival but you managed to drink 20 of the shitty ones because you took them as they came. Did you enjoy the festival? If so... good for you.midlife crisis wrote:Or, one could stop being a ticker for just one day and enjoy the festival as it comes to them on the day of the event.
I'm not a ticker at all. I do want to make sure I have all the beers that I think I'll enjoy or am downright curious about. Cask Days is a mad house any day other than Friday afternoon (never done either Sunday sessions yet.) It's simply not possible to just do Cask Days on a whim as it comes to you. I would really like it to be that sort of atmosphere* where that can happen but reality says otherwise. Beers run out. Big crowds around certain areas. Out of the beers I select, I guess what will be popular and do them first (learned from experience) then get on with the rest I've selected. Plus not all beers are available on whatever session(s) I'm at so additional selections are needed. Once the popular beers are done I go through the rest via a typical beer tasting regimen. That needs to be all planned out so time isn't wasted at the event.midlife crisis wrote:Or, one could stop being a ticker for just one day and enjoy the festival as it comes to them on the day of the event.
You've clearly never been to FoBAB. Nobody walks out of there upset they didn't get to try enough good beer. Picture 200 or so offerings that are roughly on par with Bellwoods Bring Out Your Dead, and that's just the stout section.JerCraigs wrote:That feels like a recipe for making people mad that they missed out on something just because they didn't know it was there.
