Great Taste Pre-Party Events Thread

I remember things being updated on the fly last year throughout GT week.

Isthmus Magazine tracked events the past couple of years, they aren't doing it this year, so there might not end up being a comprehensive list.

 

hasn't this already been stated a few times..............

 

Sigh to the absolute max

 

A bit off-topic, but just wanted to note that it appears the mobile app now has this year's list of beers available as well as the map of booths (so you can save 'to-dos' and see where they're located).

The physical/.pdf guide is not available on the site yet, but for those of you like me who are anxious you can begin to see what's being poured via the app.

 

Great news.......thanks!

Confirmed. Andriod app is updated with new logos and such. You may have to uninstall the old one and go to the market to update (that's what I had to do)

 

I have the iPhone app and it updated automatically. However, my friend tried to get it and it's not currently in the App Store. So if you don't have it already you may not be able to get it until they make it live again in the store.

 

Anyone know if they are going to announce the lineup of "rare and limited releases?" The only one I feel I really want to try (that I have not had before) is Abrasive and I'm definitely not standing around all day with so much other great stuff going on.

 

It looks like they might still be doing one

I just was trying the same thing, and was able to get it by clicking on the iTunes link here http://greattaste.org/at-the-taste/apps/ on my computer, downloading it, then on my iPhone going to App Store > Updates > Purchased and downloading it from the top of the list. Hope this helps someone

NOT A DRILL

-No special release tap times or glassware pictures

 

Still not sure I understand why they decided not to put tap times in the app/program. I guess it's hard to keep track of for the breweries? I can't think of any other reason.

 

Because they wanted to do as much as possible to prevent people from lining up early and clogging up the flow of people. (I'm thinking about the NG Wild Peach release last year.)

Ask your favorite breweries on Facebook or Twitter. If not, ask your favorite MHTG member who is volunteering and getting in early to go around and ask.

 

I believe the glassware is similar to last year's.

 

Yeah that line was crazy, but is this really going to help? If the breweries are still posting them, folks will know.

*shrug*

 

I don't think it will help a ton. For the most part, the people who are going to wait in line 20 minutes for NG BBBB or 2011 Dark Lord are the same ones who are going to put the effort in to know when the releases are happening.

If it doesn't work, they'll likely make a change for next year.

I'd love to see the special releases at their own tent on the edge of things, but that probably won't happen...

 

TAKE ALL OF MY MONEY

 

I know for a fact this is not true.

 

TG is advertising it as such. Maybe the last keg *they* have sitting around?
