    As long as the ticket is not VIP, no problem. Emailed Sarah at Imbibe yesterday with the same question.

    Got an email on Oct. 13 asking me to let them know which training session I would be attending. Looks like I volunteer on Friday and get a free ticket for Saturday.

    This is my first FOBAB, so I was wondering what the allotted amount of drink tickets there were in the past.

    Thanks for the quick replies. I'm going to the Friday and Sat Afternoon sessions so it should definitely be fun.

    When does the beer list get posted?

    First session, when someone is bored in line and takes pictures of the book.

    Since it's also a competition, the beer list doesn't get posted until the event starts. Breweries are actually supposedly actively discouraged from telling people what they're bringing too.

    I have the option for either Friday night or Saturday night. Which one should I go to if I can only attend 1?

    Do beers get put out by the Jesus at the wedding method? As in saving the best for last?

    No. All beers are available when the doors blow. IMBIBE members who purchased tickets through a presale get 1-hour early entry to the Friday night and Saturday day sessions. Some stuff blows during that first hour (Side Project, BA Abraxas, etc.).

    I do not believe a single beer had completely blown before general entry any year. Last year BA Abraxas blew within 10-15 minutes for sure, and Side Projects fruited sour (I forget which it was) was still on for a little while.
