    I've been following this thread since the start and can't remember anyone saying that the list is weak and they are going to skip Rare Beer. We must of been reading different threads.

    Is it safe to assume that most or all breweries will also be bringing a second beer to be named or are they allowed to just have one?

    Some bring bonus beers, but they're not obligated to and my (admittedly foggy) recollection is that most don't.

    Well, looks like the announcement of the final lineup of beers caused this event to sell out. Just checked etix and GA is Sold Out!
