    Nice! They brought PX7 last year, only appropriate to one up that with Cable Car this year.

    Were additional tickets made available? It looks like all three sessions are available again.

    Beer list looks awesome, can't wait. Does NERAX no longer do this fest? I haven't been in a couple years.

    Hey @Todd , any word on any of the events around town EBF weekend yet? Row 34 usually does some cool stuff and we went to an awesome event at Stoddards last year.

    Yes. We tried Eventbrite's new refund feature that allowed buyers to request refunds up to 30 days before the fest, and then rereleased a limited amount of tickets based on the numbers.

    They haven't recently. Future events? We'd have to summon @Jason to the thread.

    I'm sure there's going to be quite a few supporting parties beyond ours. They typically get announced a bit closer to the fest.

    In the future it would be nice to somehow allow people to switch sessions by either making those tickets available before the 30-day deadline or allowing exchanges after the deadline (via Eventbrite's transfer event function).

    We typically allow session transferring, and did for this fest, but when a session sells out the feature is automatically disabled for that session. And we normally don't rerelease tickets like this. Not sure if we ever will again either, but noted.

    Is it possible to buy a ticket for a soldout session (#3) from someone who is not a reseller and wants to sell his ticket because he is no longer attending the fest ?

    Is there a forum where this potential buyers can connect sellers ?

    If an owner of a ticket for a sold out session refunds his ticket. Will that ticket become available; that is, will the session turn in not soldout with 1 ticket available for purchase via Eventbrite?

    A limited number of tickets for all sessions are still available: https://www.beeradvocate.com/extreme/boston/tickets/

    Otherwise, yes.
    Yes. https://www.beeradvocate.com/community/forums/beer-tickets.62/
    Yes, they were made available (see above), but the refund request window is now closed.

    Is Pinkies Up from Aslin really 18.4% ABV? Pretty extreme for a DIPA, i'll have to check it out!

    Some other interesting ones that I'll definitely be trying:

    Trophy Brewing Heavyweight Champion - Bourbon Barrel Aged Imperial Stout with mushrooms and orange zest

    The Collective Suspicious Delicious - Saison brewed with peach, apricot, vanilla, and cinnamon

    Proclamation Guyliner - Imperial stout fermented w/mixed culture in a single Woodford Reserve barrel. Served still. Flavors of cherry, port wine

    Burley Oak Grape Squish - Fruited Sour Ale fermented on Chardonnay Grapes and conditioned on Cabernet Sauvignon Grapes

    Black Hog Violet Beauregard Granola Brown - Brown ale infused with ribs, collards, cornbread

    Against the Grain It’s Akaname, Stupid - Carolina Reaper pepper porter

    Just a few amongst many others that I can't wait to try (Bottle Logic, Kane, Carton, etc go without saying). I'm really excited to attend. Anything else that stands out to anyone else?

    First EBF fast approaching and I'm curious how early people will get in line to enter the fest, specifically session 2?

    They released it last week in cans down here...FT:slight_smile:... It is pretty thick, but it tastes and smells hoppy, and drinks like a beer, which I didn't think was possible at that ABV.

    Is there a section or another site dedicated to bottle shares or IP trades at EBF? Or is it relegated to the IP trading forum?
