    Likely because for most people, myself included, it is easier to go to a fest during the day on a Saturday.

    Is Toppling Goliath going to finally re-attend or are they still pissed off?

    Volunteering for this is AWESOME. But be mindful you are there to work. Plenty of time to sip samples when time allows.

    So, what was Toppling Goliath mad at? I volunteered the year they were pouring.

    Pissed off? No. They bailed due to in-house issues.

    Moving along...
