Who's going? It will be my first year attending so I'm wondering what time they opened taps in previous years. Also, how crowded it gets - the BBC Plymouth is extremely small. I'm looking forward to trying the Randall. Event: http://beeradvocate.com/events/info/55611
I went a couple years ago and it got pretty crowded. Now I just go the day after. Less crowded and there's still a lot of stuff on draught. Usually no Randall concoctions but still lots of Dogfish beer.
Thanks for posting this event. I'll be in Plymouth the following weekend and was looking for a place to get some craft beer.

Last year was awesome! The Palo Santo Randallized through coffee beans was amazing. Def worth the wait!
Two of the randalls will have 90 min through fresh hops and Punkin through cinnamon and vanilla beans.
I'm thinking that I'll have the time for 3 beers. What would everyone choose for 3 brews from the list above?
Because of the size the 1/2 pint is always crowded. even when nothing special is going on it only takes a handfull of regulars to fill the place.We popped in last year and only stayed for 1 beer because it was standing room only and packed liked sardines.
Don't forget to check these two places out while there, they are not far away. http://beeradvocate.com/beer/profile/27070/view=beerfly http://beeradvocate.com/beer/profile/27071/view=beerfly great selection at new world
From DFH FB page on Sept. 6: Guess what we begin shipping to our wholesalers across the country next week... 2012 Bitches Brew! It should begin hitting shelves & taps over the next few weeks.
Both places are awesome. I love the $7 bottles of lambic at New World. Best deal in MA. Driftwood is a cool little gastro-pub with a Lord Hobo like feel to it. Its gonna be a fun day in Plymouth.
Great time at the fest this year. Finally had Bitches Brew which was delicious. Randalls were great; I had the Chicory Stout on coffee beans and the 90 Min on citra hops and grapefruit. Can't wait until next year!
