    Definitely not the case Saturday! We had two people pouring and I just continuously filled pitchers until it was kicked. :slight_smile:

    They tweeted that they are bringing 3 beers this year, but I have no idea what.

    was going to try to go to this until I heard the entire place smells like farts.

    The trick is to keep your nose in a glass filled with beer the entire time.

    That would leave us with BA 17 or BA Sump. Unless they are showcasing something brand new.

    No adjuncts. Maman is there standard BA stout.

    It should have come to you as a separate ticket from universe.

    Would organizers go crazy if we used our 2014 tasters? Kind of want to see the beer that's poured inside and it's not like we'd be gaming the system or anything as they were approved.

    Those are going to be a bitch for volunteers to pour into without being able to see a line

    I think it's kinda cool. Something different like was said. Better than the millionth iteration of a snifter imo.

    I'm fine with the cup as long as it's not that shoddy aluminum that imparts odor/taste. Which, I'd think FoBAB is at least self-aware enough to not do that..

    But yeah, I'll never use that cup ever again haha.

    bank error in our favor!!!

    Yeah, this is my only concern. I hate drinking out of metal that actually tastes like metal.

    On the other hand, at the risk of sounding like a beer nerd (no danger of that, right? RIGHT?!?), the clip portion on the handle is kind of badass...


    Edit: Also, a tweet on the source link says that those might be the brewers' cups, and that the rest of us plebs are still getting mason jars, so who knows?

    Seeing chatter on Twitter that the aluminum cup might be for VIP/brewers and not for genpop.. Genpop getting mini mason jar.....

    The saga continues!

    Why are people so concerned with how much they are getting served? IF anything this would aloow you to get more.
