    We use to crush PJ at 3:00 in the morning when I was in college and we thought it was the best thing ever. Then one day we ordered it sober and were so disappointed.

    To me PJ is too sweet.

    I definitely don't have much love for it, but the other fast food pizza options in town have some of the worst service ever.

    Thanks guys for jumping in SWTFYW last night and toasting. Classy move by glassy gentlemen...and @Littlelotte88
    You guys will be there before you know it!

    Did you have the Sherry Barrel? How did it compare? I love coffee so I'm sure this is probably better, but damn that sherry was delicious

    I found them rather equivalent in the scale of how they used their ingredients in this batch. And I am more of a a coffee fan so this should've blown sherry zhukov out of the water. I have tried this though in the past in different batches and it was by far one of the best beers I've ever drank.

    EBF -

    Where are people staying?

    My first thought was a hotel I like in back bay. It's walking distance from the train station so I could avoid any possible driving issues. But, it is about 3 miles from the fest venue. Its walkable, but when you add in that its February, it might not be my best option.

    It looks like there are 2 hotels real close to the Fest. Anybody tried the Westin or Renaissance? Any preferences?

    I'm shooting for Saturday morning first and maybe Friday night also.

    I'm packing up that box for @Mikexw today also...

    Don't bother staying super close. Boston Transit is really good stay a bit farther from the venue if the $$ is right

    Price is pretty close...

    I'm trying to figure out if I'll have to drive to Boston, or I can find a hotel that will work for both the train into town and the venue.

    I couldn't agree more. I believe they use a lot of sugar in their dough.

    I found a pretty good combo deal that had rooms at the Westin, so that is where I'm staying.

    Non-stop round trip flights from Philly & the room from Friday to Sunday: $600 including tax through JetBlue.

    I think that is pretty sweet, so thats where I'll be.
