    Zaftig Brewing Co. in Worthington, OH, a suburb of Columbus, does a lot of big beers, some of which are really good.

    https://www.drinkzaftig.com

    Ol' Harvey, an imperial stout, was their first > 12% ABV effort, clocking in at 16%. Tasty.
    Too Cans is their IIPA that clocks in at 14%. Quite good.

    I may stop by there before DLD to augment my sharing supply.

    *Inserting speculation about festival map and allotment pick-up procedure relating to the yet unreleased FFF (3F) tweet/website update.

    I have a Rum BA Boris I was contemplating adding to my list. Had it on tap once at Local Option. It was really tasty.

    Ahhh yes T.O.R.I.S. It was their first >12% ABV beer. The big one was Gavel slammer that they made for this past years Black Friday release 17.4%.

    How is the Brew Kettle food? I was planning on stopping there for lunch since it's about halfway.

    I love Hoppin Frog and find it funny I'm not the one that brought them up, and sidenote they just released Extended BA BORIS, but...

    Where the fucking bloody hell is their supposed announcement this week?!

    It's already gained more posts than my DB Mexican Cake and DB Huna, both of which had zero. Guess I'll keep those bad boys in the cellar, drive over to Binny's, and buy some Hoppin' Frog to bring with.

    you could actually hit TBK Amherst location, it's only a couple miles off the Ohio turnpike, so easy on and off, and it's way less crowded. Tap list not as good even tho they have more taps. The food is good, wing recommendation is spot on.

    They do makecsmaxing beers! I'd put Rocky Mountain BORIS/DORIS up against any other BA stout out there. Their problem is that they make so much beer that there's no rarity to it. This makes it not as desirable at dld.

    After you consume what is in the howler, can you bring empty howlers into the fest or nah?
