    I've got a limited amount of time in the morning/noon, not much (if at all later in the day). I was figuring on getting there early, getting my stamp and heading out.

    GS was fine to me, heavily roasted coffee is what I got.

    I doubt getting in will be TOO much of a hassle. The line, from what I've been in, moves fast from both the entrance and all pours. If you get in at a relatively decent time, just get in whatever line is smallest. Unless you really want to try FO and such.

    I couldn't tell with GS if it was coffee, the cacao, and the maple syrup mixing it together. Or maybe I was expecting diner coffee so the subtleties of the coffee was lost because I wanted it to taste like crude oil.

    If anyone's wondering when they ran out of Guides, it was yesterday around 4:45. I got the last one...:sunglasses:

    ha ha. And folks worried they would get cleaned out so quickly. Anyone who wanted to do 7 days had no problem. another example on how the staff executed a smooth as hell event. No times I've been there have felt overcrowded or that lines didn't move efficiently enough. I don't feel pressure to try a tick of everything as the blueberry preview was the only one not to make it to the next day, giving the option to just spread out the sampling.

    Not too crowded right now? Any dogs in ponchos?

    All this talk of dogs makes me want to go see if they've been updating the Dogs of Logic IG account.

    More people need to use the freaking overflow lot. It’s just two blocks! Walk for your beer!

    For what I've seen at most beer events, many attendees haven't walked two blocks in their life.

    To be fair, I wouldn't mind a little mobility scooter w/ tray at a beer event.

    3:55pm update. Id say even less people than yesterday. Sprinkling here and there. Roll /jam together is where its at. 1:1 perhaps 1 roll to 2 jam. Did not try the darkstar.

    Darkstar bourbon was completely flat for me. Ruined the beer. Darkstar rum was good but light on the rum. Expected/hoped for me but it was still a pretty good beer because the base is so phenomenal.

    As of 6 PM a decent amount of people but still relatively small lines

    Almost fully agree. Rum was okay, liked bourbon more, but need either more.....time or body. Rum was almost too sweet, or the sugary-ness just went through the entire beer.

    ....but Stealth Mode was pouring amazing.

    I thought Darkstar bourbon was delicious. Rum was good too but really sweet. Got there around 6 and there were virtually no lines. Started picking up around 7:30 but lines still weren't too bad. This event has been so well run. Kudos to Bottle Logic. Parking has been bad but park a 10 minute walk away and you are fine.
