    The breakfast beers this year are only for the breakfast and are a complete surprise for those in attendance. Which for the lucky few should be really fun:wink:

    Starting line-up for StoutFest will be announced tomorrow!

    Weather looks great for Saturday too!

    I think itwas announced the breakfast beers would be a surprise. Noone would know until Alex introduced the brewer to speak about what we were about to drink. I was half expecting Good Morning to be one of them but it's in the line up for the rest of stoutfest

    Given the published line up, the only stouts that are not on that list that are on par or better are entering absurdly awesome territory. Such huge expectations!

    I will keep my wishlist/speculation to myself, lest I set the bar way too high. :wink:

    About the only thing I am sure it won't be is a Bourbon County variant...

    I'm hoping for some crazy Treehouse one off as one of those beers for breakfast .

    That (or a variant) was on my speculation/wish list.

    If you're referring to Cocoa psycho yes!...we are pouring a keg of that during StoutFest. If you're referring to that Dark Lord (which was a drain pour) we are not pouring not will we ever pour any Dark Lord

    Whoa. Wish we could edit posts from the app. Dark Lord obviously is not a beer we have access to so we would clearly not pour it. Every year someone makes mention that they think we have it. I assure you we will never have it. But, TH Double Shot and Against The Grain We Shuck On The First Date have entered the arena. Tap list for Saturday announced tomorrow

    Sunday is my target too... Think 9:30 arrival is still good this year, even with this epic tap list? I'm sure at least a couple of these from Saturday will be left over...

    Plans may have been changed for me but I'd say 9 or 9:15 is a better bet... then you can go to the bake shop also owned by the Armsby owners if it's open (which it'd be silly not to be with that line outside!). I may now be attending Saturday instead, though. We shall see...
