    There's like a dozen beers on that list I'm excited to drink, including at least a half dozen I've never had. Since I'll be driving that's plenty!

    Sure, that's fine, but I'm sure there are a lot of people out there like me who would love to attend this event if it was only on a weekend day vs. weekday.

    You could just practice a bit of self-control, too. :wink:

    I think I counted about 15 beers I was really interested in trying, and that doesn't even count BCBS (just because I've had it so much) or some of the beers I'm just not familiar with. So, I think it should be a good time, and I'm looking forward to it. I'm sure my self-control won't be very good, though, and I'll be hurting the next day.

    I've got to disagree. Way more along the lines of this sentiment:

    Wish I was able to make it.

    Definitely some interesting beers, but I'm concerned several that I really want to try would kick by the time I make it in from the burbs.

    We are only selling a limited amount of tickets and we are not expecting many, if any of the barrels to kick.

    That's great news to hear. I'm still planning on being there when it starts and expecting some of the "usual suspects" to kick. But, with so many options, even if I miss out on a few of the ones I really want, it should still be a good time.

    There should be some nice beers available on draft in the days following the event. Not entirely sure how we are going to decide which order they get tapped but any beer left will be available at some point.

    Did the price go up on this? Someone posted about it in the Chicago Stout thread about a week ago, but I'm not sure if tickets had gone on sale at that point.

    I'm guessing the tickets for pours policy will be enforced to achieve this unlike certain other fests? :wink:

    Admission includes entry and ten pour tickets and light snacks. Additional pour tickets can be purchased in increments of 5 for $10.

    It's kind of like Lollaplooza, buy an early bird before bands are announced at a discount or see the lineup and then pay full fare.

    But yeah, these were definitely 30 bucks last week.
