    Went to the share last night...holy shit it's basically a grass roots beer festival at this point, but better. Got to try several of my wants: Fou Foune, Double Sunshine, Mexican Cake, BA Framinghammer, Lou Pepe Kriek. Had a great time sharing our growler of Hammerheart plus other goodies with guys who hadn't had them. Super fun!

    Just left. Grabbed a Darkness glass inside for a friend and didn't realize it was the same as last years. Did they have newer ones for sale outside with the updated "Darkness" font?

    Yes the new glasses were outside, the glasses always have the font from the year prior though.

    Yes they announced over the band stage they are out. I lined up at 315 and moved about 6 feet in line to find out it was gone

    Got there at 9:45 and they had 17 bands left. Lucky. The 3:30 line was f-ing huge.

    Rather frustrating Last year I got in line at 430 and was able to get 4. No idea what happened this year.

    It was a pleasant surprise, the pepper up front was just right.

    Interesting for s
    Interesting, for sure but I generally find chilli beer to be disagreeable and this was no different. The cask beer ran out fast compared to previous years. I didn't get any Applewood Cynic. That was a bummer. Had plenty of Darkness and Cacao Bender to ease my pain.

    I was in line at 325 and struck out. Was production considerably lower this year?
