    The OGV may end up being 15. I think last year the OGV they had was 2 PP and it was 15 Euros.

    At those prices Im going to be ridiculously broke

    Amazed there's no live reports or pictures so far. Cool if someone would report back on what it looks like.

    500 bottles, probably will not last the weekend. On-site consumption and take-away is the same stock.

    Ok I imagine the info on 500 bottles was from the brewery itself? So whatever happened to the 3000 bottles that supposedly they had. 500 bottles is nothing....that will sell out within a day. Hopefully its 500 bottles per day that theyre selling to make a total of 2500 for the entire weekend.

    Most of those bottles will go to restaurants or something I heard. That's probably where the other bottles went?

    Was planning on going Sunday. Looks like I'll need to get there a bit earlier.

    If all bottles are available for sale today people can forget about tomorrow much less the rest of the weekend.

    I wish it would be a better sales method rather than make all available today without leaving much for the rest of folks who visit the other days

    I was told by a patron at the event that he was told some would be put out every day. Still info once removed from the horses mouth, but people can be hopeful.

    I thought the Zenne was fantastic. Already quite complex. Lots of sherry barrel at is beautiful and bright, a nice funk, and touch of sour that all play really well. Also no carb problems, this is beer is great

    I was there earlier and while there was a constant stream on people it wasn't ever 'crazy'. I left at noon and there were lots of bottles left. They had a cage with bottles out, probably had close to the 500 mentioned in it. But again a friend said they would be have more each day. Also didn't see any mule situations with large groups while I was there so that was good.
