    Agreed! It not hard to put a list up, they do it for other events. They better be bringing some big stuff for this VIB

    Sucks that I'm going into this with some knowledge about beer now. So many breweries I wanna check out, and it's usually a bitch to move around and get to where you want to go because it's so packed. Still looking forward to it.

    Definitely going to need more than the 8 beer tickets that came with the pass though. :wink:

    By the way, how many ounces would you guys say are in the WEOB mug? 4?

    unfortunately, I did not get one of those.. :slight_frown: Hopefully the regular pours will have some nice things and not just shelf beers

    That's my my sister told my ignorant self last year, I just didn't know what it meant.

    Thing was, a lot of the "limited" beers were put on tap at 5 or later, and we wound up there at about 3.

    I would like to attend but I was supposed to go to Mexico the following Monday for work, which would make for a busy weekend. It's looking like I might not have to go (at least at that date), so hopefully it gets cancelled/moved and I can make it to this.

    Anyone know how big the pours for one ticket are?

    I'm bad at guessing ... It's 3 or 4oz. I'd say 4.
