    Attended session 1 & had an absolute blast! Thin crowd, incredibly tasty brews, well organized, barely ever a line to get samples ... Probably one of the best brewfests I've been to in terms of the crowd & vibe. What I really appreciate ... and what I think made this event a success ... was the fact that Jacob did NOT oversell it, there was plenty of elbow room & the mood was so chill / relaxed. BRAVO Modem Tones! Can't wait for next year's soirée!

    Thanks for the kind words, everyone! Really glad to hear you had such a great time & enjoyed the beers. For those attending one of our events for the first time: yes, this is always how we do it. Same number of tickets, same number of beers, same vibe, same everything. We like it, fans like it, we see no reason to change it. Hope to see you at future events.

    It'll be on nitro again today. Frankly, I think the nitro version is better than the CO2 version, but if you still want to try to the 'original', come find me and I'll work it out.
    Unfortunately we only have 1 barrel of Port MP, so we decided to do this one all draft. But I'm really happy with how it turned out, so we'll definitely be sourcing more port barrels in order to do a bottling run. Agreed on the cask; I was a little nervous about it, but our brewers really nailed it. And yes, year three will definitely blow year 2 out of the water. Lots of fun stuff coming.

    Cheers & thanks,

    @ModernTimesJacob great times today! Not only is your beer amazing, but the people there are great too. Nitro MP and that Pinot Noir variant were amazing.

    Great event!

    @ModernTimesJacob another excellent event. Seriously cannot overstate how enjoyable it was. I even want to point out how well you guys do the little things. Having menus virtually everywhere, made ordering much quicker, and I believe contributed to shorter lines. Brilliant foresight!

    We'll definitely be nitro'ing up future kegs of barrel-aged Monsters' Park. This was the first time we've done it, and damn did it ever turn out well. And we bottled off quite a bit of the Funky Universal Friend--Pinot Noir, which is funkifying in our warehouse right now. Going to give it a few more months before we release, but I think it's off to a very promising start.
    Not really sure because I'm working from home today, but usually we kill off the leftover kegs about 1-2 at a time in the weeks after an event, depending on how much tap space we have available. We'll send some over to the Flavordome as well. We have a good amount of 2nd Anniversary IPA & Blanc on Blanc on Blanc though, so those should be available regularly for a while.

    Cheers & thanks,

    The Anniversary IPA was the sleeper. Tasted amazingly fresh.
    Can I get a grumbler fill of that, @ModernTimesJacob ?

    Any word on when the alluded-to online retailer will start selling bottles of the anniversary MP?

    And can you solve world hunger. There are people out there who are super hungry. Also can you make it so sneakers are a little cheaper. I mean if we are going to have little slave kids making our sneakers then at the very least they should be a little cheaper. What is your overhead? Thanks Jermaine and Brett
