    Considering most people don't pay much attention to the events/meetup pages (well, I know I don't) I thought it would be fun to see who all is going to Brakunst Live this weekend.

    Hope to meet some of my fellow BA's at the festival; I will be speaking during the
    (France-Mont Saleve/Italy-Toccalmatto) Masterclass as well as pouring beer at the Freigeist/Monarchy booth all weekend.

    Hope to meet you and pour you a beer; Prost!

    Where's the "I'd rather jump into oncoming traffic" option ? :grinning:

    Sounds like it means, "..more beer for those attending."

    We're in.

    Well, the only two options you give are both very positive towards the event, an attitude I do not share. Honestly, I wouldn't go to such a convention of beer geekery if you pointed a gun to my head. I've been to such events before and I know they are filled with much more self-importance than I am prepared to handle :slight_smile:

    I hope you're having fun and I mean that without even a hint of my usual venomous sarcasm. :slight_smile:

    Considering I am looking forward to it/am a part of it, I couldn't help but leave the options as supportive. However, I suppose I should have given a third option as "this whole craft bier thing is bullshit, I'll be at my local brewpub".

    I'll be at the Brauhaus Faust booth as well as wondering around sampling beers. @Stahlsturm, we're binging a bunch of our jahrgangsbock and world beer cup gold medal winning eisbock. It won't only be about IPAs.

    I'll be there on Saturday only. I'll either be wearing or carrying a Beer Advocate cap, and hopefully y'all will see me. I can bring a bottle or two of my Lebkuchen beer if anyone's interested in trying it.

    Come look for me at the freigeist booth; of the people working that booth I'm the only one with visible tattoos. I'd love to try your lebkuchen porter! Hope to brew one of my own for next Xmas...

    Not for me... I wore my lederhosen when I was 5, and never will again, but don't worry, there are folks that got it fully covered, like here from BKL 2013:

    and these idiots we saw in the subway station,

    who said, "you can't our picture, we're law students!" to which I laughed heartily.[​IMG]

    Hey, I didn't ask them to dress up like that. They appeared to be rich, spoiled idiots, and your assessment of their clothing choice verified my opinion of them last year.

    So... in Mü it appeared last year all kinds of people were running around either in Dirndls or Lederhosen:

    It's a beerfest and it's supposed to be fun. Wear whatever you want.

    I thought about buying Lederhosen when I was there last fall. I thought I could wear them to beer fests in the US. But when I saw the prices in the window I realized I was too cheap.
