    Never been to a Casanova event, but this sounds like a blast! Will probably have to grab some tickets, how long do they usually last?

    If there is a 100 person limit again and they are handing out tickets in numerical order, there is probably just over half of the tickets left. The last one didn’t sell out until just before the event. Ticket sales escalated after they announced TG was officially in, which was a few weeks after initial sales.

    Any still talking about getting a party bus or something? I was thinking about getting tickets for myself and a couple people but taking a Lyft there and back would be about $100...

    I picked up my ticket on Monday - would also be interested in sharing a ride with other folks.

    I called a metro transportation provider and got a quote for taking a group to the event in Hudson. The vehicle is a 14-passenger van, and the provider is willing to pick up each rider at his/her residence and then after the event, to deliver each rider back to his/her residence. Starting hourly rate is $75.00. I estimate six hours for this rental, which would give enough time for the van to travel around the metro picking up and dropping off.
    I got a formal quote for a five hour rental, and with gratuities and other fees added, the total is about $485.00. If there are 14 riders, each will pay about $35.00. Add about $5.50 per rider for each additional hour.

    Post here or send me a PM if you are want to join this van share.

    I'd probably be in for this. There's a chance I'll have a ride, but that's pretty doubtful.

    I just checked TG’s calendar and this event is now listed. It’s not a surprise, but it comforts me to know that it’s official.

    I saw Indeed has it listed too. So I'm guessing more Rum King and Whiskey Queen variants?? Happy that I won't have to wait in line for 30-60 minutes just for a pour of Morning Delight! Or something similar.

    I’m hoping for a keg of Vanilla Bean Dorothy’s.

    The only other brewery at the last one was Surly and they were just opening up vintage Darkness, so it could have been Casanova’s or donated by Surly. It would be neat to see other breweries (like Indeed) bring special stuff for this event, but it’s a really tight space.

    Barrel Theory will also be pouring. They were the ones that poured for Surly at the last Dark Beer Cave Fest.

    0% chance of this, but if anyone can't go. I would definitely buy your ticket! (2 tickets would be the shit since my fiance would really enjoy this)

    The CW Anniversary Party is a good time though. It was well run last year, I barely had to wait for 19 or any of the other BA pours they had. Bottle pickup was smooth too.

    Curious to see how 20 stacks up this year. I felt like 19 was the best one they've made since 16 and only a very small step below Black Gold.

    The Growler notes there will be over 25 breweries pouring this year including Toppling Goliath, Barrel Theory, Indeed, Bent Paddle, and Central Waters. There will be a keg of a Barrel Theory IPA for a palate cleanser. I still haven’t seen any updates from Casanova.
