Big Texas Beer Fest Brewery List

Thanks Ron and Jeff, me too.

Cheers and see you soon.

 

Labels were approved this week. So, they should be good.

 

They posted on their twitter that they're releasing a full beer list today. Hopefully they'll release the floor plan too so I can start to plan my route.

 

In 3 years, we've never had a complete beer list, but this year, we do! And here's a list of all 412 of them. Scroll to the last page for your corresponding party map.

DISCLAIMER: The beers listed here are what we've been told will be served at next Saturday's #BTBF2014 - in some cases, certain beers may be unavailable due to issues beyond our control.

Ohboyohboyohboy! Amazing work yet again, Chad and Nellie...can't wait!

 

Well, it looks like I will be drinking some beer next Saturday.

 

Ooh wine barrel brabo. And the JK list is impressive as well.

 

No (512)?!

Great list, but for some reason I remember last years list to be a little more "special". Going to be great regardless, been looking forward to it all year.

 

They opted out when they saw Twin Peaks on there. Who can blame them.

 

This will be my first BTBF, so I'm super pumped for Saturday. What are the chances of any surprise, non-listed beers? I'm thinking of Karbach or similar where we don't get them in the DFW area. Also, any advice for the newbs?

 

I'm moving this weekend. Hope everybody has a great time, and if you haven't bought tickets yet, you should go ahead and do that.

 

Non-listed breweries? Almost 0% chance since tables are already allocated and there's a good deal of logistics behind getting the brewery there. Non-listed beers from a particular brewery (e.g. Lakewood bringing another firkin)? Slight chance maybe, but still quite unlikely. More likely may be a brewery substituting one of their beers for another.

As for advice: take it slow, don't drink much on an empty stomach, and drink a lot of water. The beer list is out now, along with the map of the booths, so make a small game plan of what beers/breweries you want to hit.

 

Did you ask Chad about any surprises or anything? Because I did and he didn't say "slight chance".

 

Loving the list Chad! Going to be a busy first hour, and then a fun filled afternoon after that.

 

Thx! I've been mapping out a route for a few days now. Definitely gonna have to remind myself to slow down.

 

Just going off of my experience at previous festivals, BTBF included, and what I've gathered from speaking with organizers of other fests. More beer for y'all if I'm wrong .

Also, do you mean surprise brewery or surprise beers?

 

Beers. He specifically said there will be surprises.

 

There will be surprises. Stuff that gets swapped in at the last minute. We'll generally only make swaps when they're for better beers. I got word of a few this morning. We'll probably just keep them surprises as editing a list of 412 beers is daunting

 

I don't want anyone getting the impression that "surprises" means unapproved beers because it doesn't. Just as an example, community beer company opted to swap a couple of their beers for more limited release stuff.

 

Well, here's to hoping Goose Island swaps out the 312 for Bourbon County then.
