    Are these different batches than the bottles that were from 4elf? I was going thru Marshall the day after 4elf so I ended up buying a few bottles, haven't opened them yet, as I'm kind of afraid from what everyone is saying.

    Yeah, those are horrendous bottles and they should NOT be selling them.

    The fact that they are still available two months after 4Elf is a bit of a warning sign as to the quality of the brew...

    Once again, I can't access the MBGmash website from work. Can someone please post the list in .pdf format without mbgmash in the address line? Thanks so much.

    Like GRDave said, I have heard the Brewers Guild has to buy the beer from the breweries. Maybe they are trying to recoup costs for certain more expensive beers now. I have no idea how the pricing works, but that would be my guess.

    I can tell you first hand that no one inventories the tokens afterwards

    Here's to hoping that Kuhnhenn brings some of that Blueberry Eisbock. This is really the only chance I would have to try it.

    Edit: Nevermind. I heard Kuhnhenn isn't even coming to the Fest. Y'all better avoid their table.

    I heard that there will be tons of Blueberry Eisbock available at the MBG fest on Sunday....

    So, I actually talked to a brewer about the ** designations and they are not happy about it..The breweries are not the ones that put those out..The Guild did..They also said that the list is not done and that there are beers they do not show a * yet but will end up with * ....Just wanted to let you guys and gals know

    Great....I knew it was too good to be true that Greenbush and Dark Horse didn't have any asterisks. Looks like I will be using all the tokens I have accumulate from prior fests.

    I hope it is snowing like an MF'er and cold as a witches tit during Winter Fest.....maybe it will fend off the wannabes and non believers.

    The 2x and 3x tokens will only be better for the small breweries in the long run. I personally won't give up 2 or 3 tokens for a beer, when there are so many good ones (and new to my palate) 1 token beers to be found.
