    Not sure. I noticed they had listed Deths Tar twice and Black Ops as well. I'm assuming it's a mistake

    I've gone the last two years and enjoyed myself. By the end of the evening they don't seem to enforce the twelve sample limit. The food is pretty good also. I look forward to it every year. Great selection of all different types of barrel aged beers, not just stouts.

    Do yourself a favor and try Bell's BA Coffee Consecrator Doppelbock. I am not a fan of the base beer one bit, but this beer worked perfect(if you like coffee beer)

    Looks like tickets are still available. I wish I could go, this is always a great, laid back time, plus the food is awesome.

    They usually have one Cantillon beer on as a surprise every year. I'm heading to the first session tomorrow.

    No Loon keg this year. Also Bells fucked up and BA coffee consecrator "wasn't ready" so it's Wild One instead. Couple nice surprises though and it's always a great time!!

    Bummer on the Loon :slight_frown: Was looking forward to the bells as well. Oh well......I'm sure it will still be a great time.

    I guess no Cantillon this year. D:

    EDIT: I see this was addressed. Any hints on the surprises? :wink:

    Always a great time and you really can't beat the value for $45 ($40).

    This was a great event and a great time. Not too crowded, a great selection of food and drink. I may make this an annual event!

    It was so fun as usual! Very chill, plenty of room to walk around, never standing line for more than a minute or two. Great beers as well! It's the reason I go back year after year. :slight_smile:
