    Do you know for sure that isnt much work? Putting up the list may be easy, getting breweries to give you the information may not be. The only beer festivals that I have been to that does it, are the michigan brewers guild festivals. Great taste of the Midwest and Festival of Barrel Aged Beers doesnt put up a list prior. Probably more trouble than it is worth for a festival like this and the small % that care to get the info before hand.

    I cant wait for the hate threads with all the high expectations.

    I'm not that worried about it. I've only ever had just under 200 beers, so even if there's nothing rare there, I can have some seasonals or year-rounders from breweries that I haven't had before.

    I'm going to pace myself this year ... last year I was drunk within about 90 minutes because I drank my samples too quickly. Dumb ass.

    you my friend looked too far into that, simply was saying the breweries could. they do. i understand multimillion dollar companies in 2013 most likely dont carry PR people.

    Yeah, I tend to do that.

    I think I did it on this because of the subject. All to often BAs get inflated ideas of what beer festivals should be from the MBG ones, which are probably the best in michigan IMHO. Then they go to the smaller/different ones and then rail on them because they weren't what they wanted them to be. Often they are for charities as well. They are what they are, they wont often have all the crazy specialty beers.

    I am done, maybe. Unless I get board at work, then I might post again.

    Wouldn't surprise me if Black Note was there -- first picture in this slide show on the website says "Black Note at 5pm"

    it's like.. a REALLY rare beer. etc. etc.

    I'd guess the other special beer from Bell's will be BA Batch 9000 or Roundhouse (or maybe Larry's Latest DIPA). The list is all over the map, but there's some good stuff in there. Wonder what Kuhnhenn will bring. Anyone notice the notable absence of Dark Horse?

    Dark Horse will be there. They didn't sign up until after the vendor list was full and will be sharing a table with Arbor, I believe.

    Too many damn breweries and not enough damn sobriety time. I'd better sip slowly.

    CTRL+F "DRIPA"

    "No results found."

    GTFO.

    Looks like there's Bourbon 4D there though. Do want.

    And how did Threadless win best IPA...? Kids these days! Oh well. Just a few more days.

    I'm pretty sure it's won some medals in past years at the expo, who knows if they even entered it this year, they sure did clean up in the mead categories this year though.
