    Armonk definitely has the better list but is it just me or does the nyc poster not show up (on mobile for me) in the original post?

    I believe its 8-10 oz pours on the big ones and 16 on the sessionable beers.

    Great event, thanks for putting it together and announcing it here. Wish when there were a bunch of the high abv beers bars would do smaller pours, 5 ounces would be perfect. Gives opportunity to try as many of big ones as possible.

    Anyone still at deciccos? Looks like they've still got everything on tap even though the bar area is crowded. Met David Walker. Great dude. He's taking time to talk to each and every group of people. Very cool. The best event I've ever been to. Only one even in the same conversation is the gi cellar raid at the cannibal in December 2015.
