    This list is bonkers. I was so spoiled going all 3 sessions last year. There's no way I'm going to try a quarter of all the things I want to try in one session.

    The name on the ticket is 100% irrelevant unless it's an Imbibe early entry ticket.

    Is there usually a big line for opening? Like get there 30 minutes early to get in or does it move fast

    We'll all just have to increase our per-person flatulence output then.

    Had a hipster cut my wife off in order to get 2 spots ahead in line... it’s a FOBAB tradition!

    I am confused. FOBAB instagram post showed that tickets get 20 pours with admission. I don’t recall anyone taking tickets/tokens in years past? The only way to maaaaaybe survive is to be able to pour out the beers you try and don’t absolutely love. Am I just forgetting?

    If you don't like it, dump it. They've always taken tickets, but some volunteers are more lenient about collecting than others, plus those who went too hard too fast and leave earlier usually give you their extra tickets. Just be nice, talk and listen to fellow beer fans.

    I’m confused. I haven’t been asked for a ticket one time in the last 3 years.

    I think by law, festivals are "suppose" to have limits.

    Noon tomorrow for brewer’s pass and vip? Or is the early session just tonight? My buddy goes every year with his brewers pass and he honestly doesn’t know and the website doesn’t say anything that I can find.
