    That would be a huge bummer. I don't think Rover is bad by any means, and I've had a Rover that someone poured maple syrup and coffee into, and thought it was pretty decent, but yeah f that.

    They definitely won't bring KBBS and I doubt they'll bring Assassin but I wouldn't be surprised if they brought Mornin' Delight. More likely, though, will be one of the Term Oil batches. The anticipation is killing me.

    I'm pretty sure they've stated that term-oil will always be taproom only (could be wrong/misinterpreting that), but yea Mornin' Delight wouldn't be surprising at all. My post about Rover was purely sarcastic.

    I have to say, I am very pleased with the list so far.

    With breweries bringing two beers, I could see Mornin' Delight & King Sue (they just brewed a bunch of this) as their offering. I could also see the Mornin' Delight swapped out for Assassin although not as likely. I would think there would be almost no possibility of KBBS. This is all speculation on my part.

    They also do a good job of having dump buckets and water stations to clean the glasses out.

    I would guess that oncertain TG announces this event will sell out.

    King sue and morning delight, not a fan of TG, no big reason besides I don't like IPAs so for me trying morning delight will be cool but not sure if this is what people were hoping to see from them

    I guess I can see why some people would be disappointed it's not Assassin since they just released the bottles but I also can't see them being too upset they are getting Mornin' Delight instead, it's still one of their most sought after treats. Plus I am happy that my friend I am going with gets to try MD before we finally open my bottle of KBBS the following weekend.

    I agree. If people purchase tickets expecting specific "rare" beers, they will more than likely be disappointed. If you go in with the expectation that there are going to be plenty of difficult to get beers to enjoy all night with little to no lines and a lot of times the actual brewer to speak with, you will be happy.

    Avery broke my heart with only bringing apricot sour and vanilla, lots of other beers make up for it but I love the huge abv beers Avery does and was hoping for something better

    Overall I'm pretty pleased with the list that has been released so far but Avery bringing Vanilla Bean Stout and Apricot Sour is very disappointing. With all the BA beers they do I had high hopes for something unique not two of the easiest to find.

    Yeah, they've earned the ignominious 'Love Child Beaten Dead Horse' award for this year. Still hoping for some Moe's Bender from Surly but I'm happy with the overall line-up, regardless.
