Official FOBAB Countdown Thread

On my way on the good ol metra...... I'm going to get sooooo drunk... I mean respectfully sample tons of delicious beers...

 

Beers are in sort of numerical order. Get out of the elevator and go left and the first beers on the left are the bottle beers and then the low numbers start. So right for wilds, left for stouts & bws and similar and, if its still there, the amazing multi barrel bourbon county experience (apple brandy rules) is left as well. Cherry rye is awesome, as well.

Sticky monkey was disappointing.

Actually they switched elevators? Not sure what the heck is up now.

 

Cherry Rye Best In Show? Now I know where I go first!

 

If u like cherry trimenic, cherry bcbs is for u

 

First in line for second session. Prob have been given at least 60 xtras beer tickets. But they said they won't work for second session. We'll c though. :-)

 

Strange question, but does anyone know if there's a coat check?

 

There is a coat check

 

Just got out of the first session, everything on your list was top-notch.Perennial blueberry Flanders is a MUST TRY. Also haymarket Clare's thirsty ale (better than bramble?)

 

Haymarket Clare was best in show and it wasn't close. Wine and Apple Brandy BCS were nice too. Rye Abraxas was the only beer I poured out... just putrid.

 

taste was awesome, but best smelling beer i've ever had

 

I liked BA Abraxas quite a bit. BA 9000 was fantastic, one of the best things I had.
I was surprised that I liked Ronaldo so much.
The Goose "1 beer 4 barrels" was easily the highlight, though.

 

For my money, Goose Island's Mayan Gold was best in show. Go check it out , evening goers.

 

This is insane! I need to cut myself off! Cheers!

 

Out of all the great beers, Haymarket Clare was my best in show and it wasn't even close.
BA 9000 and Destihl St Dekkera Apricot were great as well.

 

Mayan Gold is the new name for Xocolatl.

Best for me this afternoon:
Avery Odio Equum
Lost Abbey Track #9
Sun King Pappy Sky
Destihl St. Dekkera Sour Apricot
Haymarket Clare

 

So far for me, BA Vanilla Abraxas is best show. I missed out on Perennial Blueberry Flanders and I will never give myself for not going straight there.

 

So much black note.. This beer is on point! Cheers!

 

BA Abraxas was definitely the stand out of the day for me. Also enjoyed Straight Jacket, Odio Equum, Hansel and Gretel, and Lost Abbey Track#10. Another great FOBAB, only complaints were the heat and the location (the place was cool but incredibly inconvenient)

 

Cherry rye straight to blueberry Flanders. me and the wife had two full pours. 1 and 2 of the night for sure.
