    anyone have guesses/info on the number of bottles for BoT... I see there's a 4 per person limit, so I'm assuming there's at least twice as much as Juicy. I'd prefer not to have to skip final exams to make it up next week, but I'll do what I must...

    I love camping, so I'm in the opposite boat. I LOVED the VIP night. Obviously, though, this configuration will be less work for the HF crew (and they work plenty hard enough) and will work out better for folks who are traveling far for the event.

    However, if they bring back a full night of standing in line and drinking amazing beers with amazing people, I'll be the first one to sign up!

    live music, amazing taplist and (eventually) fresh seafood. The bottle share :grinning:.
    yea, you don't even need to ask if I'd do it again.

    Thats what I did for the Harvest Fest, had a great night at the Three Penny Friday and enjoyed the fest the next day and camped. This way I feel like I get the best of both worlds plus easier on the staff.

    I have a bad back so two nights of camping isn't super great for me. I should just buy that land near the brewery and build a drinking lodge.

    Count me in on drinking lodge. I am sure we could find some other people to kick in for it.

    Shaun's twitter just said he's brewing Life without Principle #2, an American Blonde with Meyer Lemons.

    I missed Life Without Priciple #1, I will not be missing this one. Sounds awesome and sounds sessionable. Beautiful.

    Just wanted to say thanks to everyone at HF for a great visit to the brewery. Staff was very friendly and helpful. Definitely exceeded this Wisconsin boy's expectations. What a gem of a brewery to have in your home state, you Vermonters are very lucky!

    Keep doing what you're doing HF, and if you ever get to the point where you start distributing, Wisconsin is a great state to sell beer!! :wink:

    Just curious, how much did the bottles of Juicy sell for?

    That was the only release of BoT until the current one.
