    Only 25 bucks (pre-order) for such tastiness as bourbon barrel aged Black Phoenix (at least a year in the barrel), Bourbon Chaos and their 79 Anniversary beer, which I think is a dark Belgian strong tho I could be wrong. And just two days to go before the fiesta. I just wish I knew more about the line-up other than their website blurb:

    "Approximately 30 house beers on tap including several barrel aged rarities and sour beers and our collaboration beer w/The Bruery"

    If anyone knows more about the beer line-up, please chime in.

    The surprise is part of the fun. Last year's anniversary was incredible. I can't stress enough how great it was. If you've never been to a Bootlegger's event before you don't know what you're missing.

    I actually teared up when I realized I couldn't make it. I heart bootlegger's, and last year's party was seriously amazing. I'm sure this one will be too. $25 is a steal.

    Agree, last year was great and I'm getting excited about the 4th Anny on Friday. Gunna get "Mucked" up.

    I liked the second anniversary party a bit more than the third, but both were great and much credit to Bootlegger's for making the jump to a larger off-site party site at just the right time. Bummed I have to miss this year, but it was this or Real Ale Fest, and since this will be the final year for Real Ale while Bootlegger's while hopefully be continuing on for years to come, I had to go with Pizza Port.

    3rd Anny was GREAT! So sad I can't make the 4th. If you can make their event you should! You won't be dissapointed.

    Big fun last night! Between dodging rain drops, broken glass and enjoying the view from the Muckenthaler grounds, there were some pretty wonderful beers poured. The number of excellent sours were a surprise, since they haven't been a part of Bootleggers' regular rotation in quite a while. For 25 measly bucks, this was the deal of the year. My favorites:

    Olallieberry Sour
    76 with sour cherry
    Bourbon Barrel Black Phoenix
    Bourbon Barrel 78 Anniversary
    Brandy Chaos
    Bourbon Chaos
