    Tree House: good morning
    OH: green diamonds
    Jackie O's: oro negro
    Founders: KBS
    Against the grain: Citra ass down

    Lamest brewery: Cigar City. Huna kicked after 15 minutes. What a joke. Don't bring it/advertise it, just to tell everyone waiting for it that's it's gone.

    There was something at EBF 2 or 4 that kicked right away. I want to say 120 or WWS or it might have been Sam Utopias. People went right for it upon arrival and it was gone asap.

    I was there Friday night and got Hunapuh at around 6:10, and the guy pouring said they only had about 10 minutes more of it left.

    Founders CBS
    Green Man blueberry berliner
    Jackie O's cucumber ginger berliner
    Carton Boat beer
    Sam Adams Kosmic Mother Funk -- Surprise of the fest. Could have fooled me for a top shelf flanders red.
    The Bruery black tuesday
    Firestone Walker bretta rose
    TH Good Morning was very good but it didn't taste that different than (or above and beyond) Double Shot to me, as I strictly got coffee and and not so much maple syrup.

    Surprise brewery of the fest - Proclomation brewery. Highly enjoyed 2 beers from them and no lines. Their "Harper" with apricots was one of the most well made sours I've had in a long time.

    #1 by far for me was apropos of nothing by the rare barrel, unfortunately they ran out before I could try anything else.

    Others I enjoyed were:

    Funky Buddha - Last Buffalo, French Toast
    Other Half - All Green Everything
    Jackie O's - Cucumber Ginger

    Rare barrel killed it!

    Most overrated was CBS!

    Funky Buddha: Last Buffalo-yup, it really was THAT good. Astonishing
    Jackie O's: Oro Negro
    Ithaca: Java Power-surprised this is not being more talked about. What an amazing accomplishment. They tried numerous coffees until they found the right one to compliment FP. Hit a homerun with this one.

    Tree House Good Morning was my favorite beer of the day.
    7venth Sun Brewery brought some great beers particularly Mangrove DIPA & Hand at the End of My Arm
    Loved everything from Rare Barrel & Cascade (they pulled out a 2011 Vlad the Impaler, too)
    All Green Everything from Other Half was really tasty, too.

    Oh and funny enough, Black Tuesday was the most generous pour I got. It would have taken me most of the evening to finish sipping that thing LOL.

    CCB had only one guy pouring, another guy would come back occasionally to check the kegs but not pour. If you know you are going to have a long line, please have 2 people pouring!

    Irish Coffee from Carton was quietly my favorite non-Funky Buddha beer. That beer is fantastic, and you'd never know it was 12%.
