Armsby Abbey 2012 Founders Breakfast/Stoutfest

+1 here. It'll be my first time going and I am oh so excited.

I am a little unclear on how the transition goes from the AM breakfast to the afternoon Stoutfest. If anyone has gone in the past, I would love to hear how their experience went.

 

I'll be there in my usual seat ( bar seat number 1). At about 11:30-11:45 they have everyone settle up their bill for the breakfast then they open the doors at noon and stoutfest begins. They've been kind enough the last two years to write down what I want flight wise before the doors open so I have a fresh drink/drinks once the mayhem begins.

 

Its a killer event! The food is excellent and the beers obviously are the same. I got married a few hours after the breakfast/stoutfest the first year so I couldn't enjoy to many beers but I still remember the bread pudding as one of the best deserts I've ever had and last year I was at the bar from 9 am to 6:30 pm enjoying the hell out of myself.

 

I suppose I should make an official event for the BA calander. Will submit tomorrow morning

 

I'll be there riiiight after breakfast ends. Oh yes...sloppy second stout is still delicious.

 

By right there after breakfast ends you mean probably waiting outside in line for a few hours so you get in when breakfast ends right?

 

Exactly.

 

I will be at the breakfast as well, first time for this as well as stout fest. Here is the line up, which ones are you most looking forward to have: http://armsbyabbey.com/2012/03/stoutfest-414/

 

Great lineup! I've had 16 of the 31 - looks like some good ones on there!!!! Have fun

 

I went to this last year and loved it. I went mid to late afternoon, didn't have to wait to get in. I missed out on some of the offerings, but with a list like that, I was still more than a happy camper. Hopefully I can make it out there again this year.

 

I and my wife are so excited. This is the first time for the breakfast. We attended Stoutfest last year.
See you there

 

I'm probably opting out this year. Semi-expect to be in a wheelchair at that point. Not entirely sure how that would physically fit.

 

As of right now I am waiting on pins and needles for a phone call to find out whether I'll get into the breakfast or not! I'm first in line on the wait list and praying for a cancellation! This would be my first time going as well. Keeping my fingers crossed.
