    What time do you think is safe to show up in advance for the noon session? Is this going to be a 6 hours in-advance thing to get anything good?

    There are still tickets available last I checked, so I doubt you need to do that. I think we're planning on getting there like 30 mins early for the 5pm session.

    Any other BA peeps going to the 5pm session? Maybe we can meet up. We have a decent size group going. At least 5, but probably more I'm not aware of.

    Monster tide sold out at Lincoln around 7 tonight, got lucky and got 2 of the 3 last 4 packs. Wasn't expecting that at all. Super good beer though, kind of reminds me of a dipa version of beer hates

    I’ll be at the noon session. Been to another event at this venue and it’s a nice size but not super big. Hopefully for the price, it’s a bit more intimate, less crowded, and everyone gets to try what they want.

    Thanks for that post! I have never been, is the southeast staircase all accessible from the outside then? No reason to ever go inside then right?

    Look for Bike and Roll Chicago on google maps. Using satellite view, the entrance is most likely the stair case right across from that. Hope that helps.

    I'll most likely be there tonight. Is this thing indoors or outdoors? I can't seem to find any info on it other then I need to enter at the VIP entrance off Randolph.

    This info email I received yesterday says it's a covered tent space with removable walls and they will determine whether to open it up depending on the wind/weather/temp. But also that the space is not heated so dress accordingly.

    First session please update us on how it goes! The info email also said food from publican and coffee from dark matter available. Same beers for both sessions too if anyone was worried about that.
