    FWIW, last year Friday pre-FOFA was by far the busiest I've seen it since the expansion.

    Happy FOFA week! Count myself and a +1 in for the Fri bottle share if it's happening.

    While they tend to update their retail bottle list on Saturdays, last year during FOFA week that update came on Monday and included Vera Mae, Nordic Saison, and Elaborative Four.

    I'm curious if they're waiting to do a big website update with the beer list for FOFA and this week's retail update.

    I hope so.... at the very least, Vera Mae!

    Since they didn't update on Saturday, I would suspect they'll do it between now and opening on Wednesday, do you know if they've ever slipped and let Wednesday go by the wayside on big bottle updates and pushed them through for Friday? [I've got a dilemma - I might be able to go solo tomorrow, or on Friday to beat the rush with my wine drinking better half...!!!]

    Looks as though the retail list has been updated.

    S&S 7 added. CD 18 taken off.

    Hi all. Is there a way to procure a DD ticket at this juncture? I lucked into some imbibing tickets from a friend who can no longer go... and he didn't need the DD ticket, so he didn't get one, but we could really use one.


    Mods, please don't delete this -- it's an honest question, not an ISO that should go in the tickets forum (if that's the only way to procure one, I'll move this there at that point). Thanks!

    I have a DD ticket that I'm not going to be using as I am on the bus from Waterbury. Its yours if you want it

    Hi, @zman, another great BA has got me covered, so all set. Thanks!
    Sorry to derail the thread. Back to shares and speculation.

    That Parker pie list looks great but I'm sure it'll be slammed on Friday night. Can anyone comment on the size of the place? Can they handle a large crowed?

    They can, specially if it's not raining but they had a big tent set up last year. Not too worried about it myself. Could be bit longer for pie but that gives you time to drink and talk with the folks that will be hanging out
