Now THIS is a tap takeover. Haven't seen one of this magnitude since Great Lakes did one at Volo ~4 years ago.

Once again, having descriptions would help introductions. I have like a pink and blue plad shirt on, say hi if you care to!

Their Amarillo hop Monogamy (which is in the bottle shop starting today, i'm told) was a highlight. IAH "Rainmaker" and also "Double Team" were enjoyable too, and I am always happy to consume BOYD.

Did anyone get a chance to try Bogus Journey? I was there from 4:30 to 6:30 and it was pouring up foam. Otherwise, great event. The Camp Out S'more Stout ended up being my favorite of the night.

There was an issue with the Bogus Journey keg- it didn't pour at all last night and this morning there was no difference after we tried every trick in the book. The keg is going back to Indie where we're gonna try and figure it out- I'll keep you guys posted on when it'll be on tap.
