    If you removed all of the non-beer food and drink words there'd be very little left to say. :slight_smile:

    Still no word on what they're pouring at the opening bash on Saturday? I remember last year they announced the tap list on beermenus. No sign of that this year.

    Thanks! I will have to see how the time works out, the subway ride from my GFs to As Is takes like 45 mins and i won't get there until later. I think I saw the Three's thing is only until 12am right?

    It looks like they're adding the list on Untappd now.

    How did you get to that? My untappd searches for opening bash only brought me to the event from 2017

    Somewhat bummed I missed the early bird pricing. Thought about going, but even general admission, for both my wife and I, we'd be looking at $160 for just 3 hours of fun... can't quite stomach it. I think I'll just buy $80 worth of stuff from a bottle shop and my wife and I can taste throughout the day. I wish these things weren't so dang expensive. Feels like they would still be doable at like a $35/$40 price range. I'll probably go to the IPA fest in Sept though.

    Does the Great Notion Tap Takover at As Is start at noon today? Would love to try some Double Stack and Blueberry Muffin but I have a feeling things might be kicked by the time I get there.

    Was really hopping an hour ago but it's always worth it going to As Is.
