A sour at stoutfest? why?

 

i got my beers mixed up

 

Finally around for this year's Stoutfest, can't wait to see what they have on tap. Recommendations for or against purchasing the breakfast tickets? Is it easy enough to get pours without?

 

If I remember correctly the tickets were around $120 last year and will likely be similar this year (with a quick sellout). That's a bit more than I'm willing to spend.

But there are some benefits....3 exclusive stouts for the b-fest (If I remember correctly Good Morning was one last year) that are extremely hard to get, and you get first crack at the rest of the line up. Also you won't have to stand inline to get in (which will happen if you don't have tickets). Plus the food will be tasty (I've always had good experiences here).

Like I said not for me, but If I were to go......I'd probably spend the money on breakfast tickets.

 

Stoutfest? More like next day 'runs'fest. Maybe that's just me, though. I love Armsby, killer food.

 

At the breakfast it was Give Me Truth not Good Morning. I think GM was poured at stoutfest 2 years ago right after the breakfast and was gone in.... 10 / 15 mins maybe?

 

Do you need tickets for the Sunday brunch. I can't make it on Saturday.

 

Nope

 

I've missed this the last two years... and will again next month. Always busy on Saturday... damn.

For the Sunday brunch, I know there's a line outside before open - how early should someone arrive to be reasonably confident they'll be sat during the first wave? 9am?

 

Don't tease me like that.

 

One of the better beer events I've experienced. Hopefully I can get a ticket this year

 

Tickets for the StoutFest Breakfast will go on sale 3/25 at 10am via Eventbrite. We used eventbrite last year and it seemed to work out better (mostly), for everyone. We'll post the eventbrite link soon as we're still working out a couple details.

 

I straight up died at this fest last year. So many good high-test stouts of incredible quality. Looking forward to bringing more friends along and spreading the love this year. One of my favorite beer events!

 

Worth the $120 then?

 

I don't typically attend the breakfast, I just line up an hour and a half before the fest starts usually and forgo the meal.

 

I love Stoutfest!

Since AA has spun off Crust, I wonder if the pizza will be around anymore...that pizza is part of the experience for me and my buddies.

 

Nothing has change with Crust/Armsby relationship. We sold Crust to our head baker. All is right with the world

 

This is an event not to be missed for sure. Highest quality stouts in all the land. Price of breakfast has priced me out of attendance but I will be there fo' sho' Sunday afternoon.

A few years ago @thedivebar you had some Hoppin' Frog BA Boris on the list. Has that even made the rotation? I don't recall it being tapped. Once of my favorites! Hoping this year is the year of the Frog at Armsby!
