    Got my ticket and a sandwich! Not going to lie, pretty stoked for the sandwich even though I could get it anytime

    In! And looks like I'm getting a free King's Cup upgrade as well...

    As a newb, would someone kindly give some suggestions or recommendations for the event? I know the generalities (don't be an ass, share, ask before pouring), but I was wondering if anyone had any more nuanced recs.

    Looking forward to it!

    In with the better half...finally getting to return to Woodshop. It's been a while, I think the last one I got to attend as a newbie was at Downtown Johnny Browns....when the outside jockey box had some J.Wakefield berliners to pour for yourself.

    Ah...memories....

    We even lost a friend 1.5hrs in. Went too hard in the paint and his better half found him passed out in the bushes.

    just be ready for an awesome amazing time. just stay hydrated with water and you won't be able to try everything! there's great beer everywhere. it's a long event, so definitely try to pace yourself.

    And don't let ppl stop you when you are trying to get to the restroom. Jeebus...
    ./me thinks "man, I gotta pee"
    friend 1 - hey david, come have all of these batch 1 pours from barrelworks
    ./me thinks after having all the barrelworks beers "wow, now I really need to pee"
    random person 1 (that somehow knew me) - hey david, we are having a disagreement about which one is better...2013 bvdl or 2014 bvdl, come be the deciding vote

    yup....barely made it to the restroom

    beer nerd problems

    Despite the best efforts to move it back down to the SD area to get rid of me, I am afraid your devious plan did not work. Tickets procured!

    Might be a good choice, since I think there's like 3 single bathrooms at WIld Barrel. Will Porta-potties be available?

    I guess being more or less anonymous in the beer community has its (bathroom) privileges.

    (maybe I need to make more friends...)

    I haven't been to a Woodshop on probably 10 years. I went to one at Stuffed Sandwich and one at someones house in ....maybe Alhambra. Now that I'm down here in Oceanside, this seems like a beckoning to me for a return after earlier (fantastic) incarnations of this event!

    YASSSSSSSSSSS.

    Would be great to see you, Charlie. I always love reconnecting with old beer friends through these events.

    I can't count how many times people have asked me over the years to describe Woodshop and why I keep doing it. I think the easiest way to encapsulate the special vibe there is, "It's like a big beer geek family reunion."

    I'm in for my 2nd year! Group dwindled this year to some friends choosing a music festival over Woodshop so i might be solo or with one other, but...hoping I can run into some of you and chat it up!
