    We get brewers every fest who have to back out for one reason or another, but we always have great breweries waiting for an opening. You won't even notice once you start sampling all of the other epicness.

    This makes me sad. I was SO excited to try some of their brews. They were one of the breweries I was most excited about. :slight_frown:

    This list is looking awesome. This is going to be a great show! :slight_smile:

    For last year's ACBF, there was a thread were someone created a Google Docs spreadsheet with these same columns of data plus Score, rAvg, Ratings, Bro Score and then they even added Table Number when it was available. This was a great idea and very helpful. Is it possible to add more of these columns to the EBF list?

    Just noticed, no CBC? I assume (hope) they're just finalizing their list. I hope the sour fest the following weekend doesn't mess with their presence at EBF as they're always a crowd favorite.

    They might be a last minute entry, but it has nothing to do with their sour event at the brewery.

    Such a great idea.. I started making my own Google Doc so I could add notes on my phone day-of, but the list keeps changing so I am waiting until I fly up there to do that.

    Yeah I usually do a screen-scrape, add table #, and then SORT by table #. This way, as I walked around the Cyclorama I wasn't flipping paper each time to find the brewery. Now that we're in a new venue, I'm not sure how useful this will be since it will depend on how the table #s are assigned, but I suspect it's better than just alphabetically sorting by brewery name.

    Anyone going through the effort of creating their own list might want to wait. The list isn't done yet, and we might have something up our sleeves.

    Todd, you have piqued my interest. I can imagine what you have up your sleeves. I’m hoping it is mobile. :wink: But anything to help make a top 10 list of beers to try and to track what you did try would be greatly appreciated.

    I told my wife the same thing, but she said that the birth of our daughter due a month later would be better. I'm not too sure about that.

    Haha, I am in the same boat. Me, my GF, and my buddy are flying out to Boston for this. She thinks we are crazy for being so excited over some "silly beer event".

    Yes. We distribute a guide (with map) at all of our fests.
