    How about PA (or New York) for that last spot? They would fit into the Northeast category (they’re not mid-Atlantic or New England so that could be another region). I’m a CT girl, but we have family in the greater Philadelphia area and there are great breweries everywhere (Tired Hands, Forest & Main, Levante, Hidden River, Imprint).

    Awesome awesome news!!!
    I saw Russian River...being in TX during a pandemic without ability to get Russian River....oh how this makes me happy! There is a chance! Excited to try new beers from around the US. The last fest was awesome! So excited for this one, too!

    It's not a typo. Unfortunately the regional carriers who service Florida, Ohio, and Colorado didn't meet our expectations during Extreme Beer Fest. We're operating on a super tight timeline for this fest to make sure we send the freshest IPAs possible, so we had to make the difficult decision to pull those states from the list. We didn't want to make a promise to attendees in those states that we couldn't keep due to third party issues. I'm hoping this changes for future events.

    Thanks for the suggestion, but an invite has already gone out on the 12th spot. Just waiting to hear back.

    Well, that's a bummer. Obviously not something you can control ... I'll add to my list of reasons I'm hoping to return to Live Fests soon!

    I have to wait! I am picky! If too many are above 7% or are lactose IPAs, I am out.

    Can't wait to snag up a box hopefully.

    As much as the hype is getting to me, I have to wait til the beers are unveiled because lactose and fruited IPAs are a hard stop.

    I want Lawsons and RR so bad, though. Come on nooooooo goofy adjuncts

    So far, there are no lactose or fruited IPAs and the lowest ABV is around 6%.

    I've discovered that I really like having boxes of new beers show up at my house after the Extreme Fest and the Saturday Breakfast Fest. I love IPAs and can't wait for this one! I'm definitely signing up for the IPA Fest.

    Hey Todd, anyone on this thread has been to the Russian River palace and we love them but how about Hen House just down the street representing the west coast. They are such a good group and would be a great surprise brewer.

    Is anyone else having trouble? Checkout says "Product not available in my state" we live in Colorado and did the last event without a problem

    I just did this (well I tried to add the Fry "Shut up and take my money" meme but it failed)[​IMG]

    I may not be able to be on the whole time, but the list looks good.
