    Helluva nice event again, thanks @thirdeye11.

    Community Brett's Get It On & Oaked Inspiration, 2012 Brabos Reserve by Lakewood were my standouts. Kinda disappointed New Holland didn't make it in time. Collective Brewing is legit, the rest of the new locals were meh.

    Did anyone else notice the always long line at Southern Tier? Was it because the girls wanted to drink all their sweet beers?

    What?! Their booth said "Coming Soon". Maybe I was drunk?

    It meant coming soon as in distro starts may 4th, they were pouring beer though. BB9 was awesome, BA ten fidy also gets my vote. All the community, Lakewood and peticolas stuff rocked too. Too many to count but it was a great event.

    I'm pretty sure BB9 was not actually pouring and that it was just Pumpkinator.

    Well, since we owed you, I hope we delivered. If not, let me know and I'm happy to refund your money.

    Cheers to everyone else, and thanks for all the support over the years. You guys are too kind to me.

    The wine aged beers and the Brabos from Lakewood were fantastic.

    lol. New Holland was def there all day.....you missed out on Dragons Milk.
    Oaked Inspiration was really good.
    I passed on Community Brett's...but have had it several times at the brewery and it's very nice

    For me...and it was reaffirmed yesterday, BCBS (reg and coffee) are overrated.

    It surpassed all expectations.
    It was put together extremely well and it flowed very smoothly.
    Great job!

    Thanks to you...wifey is hungover today and that means I get a free day to watch the final round of the Masters.
    I'd be curious to know what you guys grossed for this event?

    Word? God, I'm sick of missing out on events like this. I always say I'm going to go...never do.

    Awesome event! I need to look back at my Untappd for help with my memory, but I do remember Fully Adrift from Pinthouse Pizza was delicious.

    I had a blast like always... Always love BTBF and how the VIP is done. Wish I would of paced myself better, I chose to not stand in line at the food trucks and ended up paying for it in the long run (and I love food trucks), also the generous pour of the 22% one distilled triple dunkel probably added an extra notch to my debauchery. Other then leaving there rougher than I would of wished for, it was a blast.
