    Awesome time, great, beer, food and music!!! Best part of the night for me was the bottle of
    Goose Island Marisol, the Rick Bayless/GI Collaboration they had to taste, what a rare wonderful treat!!

    If I didn't have plans already, I likely would have attended this event. I didn't hear much buzz about it it though, so how was the attendance (public) in your opinion?

    If Marisol was the highlight of the event, then it doesn't sound like I missed much!

    GI also had a porter unnamed called it "batch 5000" that was tasty.

    500 makes for a quaint event. Proximity is what makes those events worth going to.

    I can't wait for GI to start bottling Marisol for distribution. By any chance did they give any hints as to when that will be. I was told previously they hope by this summer.
