    January 27th from 1-3pm

    They haven’t announced any specifics, but if it is anything like the last one, it will be amazing. It is $25 less than the Northern Lights Rare Beer Fest and typically has a more impressive lineup. I’m not sure how TG plans to top VB Asssassin or the keg of MD.

    I got a ticket earlier today and they don’t seem to be moving fast yet. Who else is going?

    I'm not getting many Google hits about it - do you have to pick tickets up at the store?

    You can order the tickets by phone and pick them up later. I’m not positive, but they might let you pick them up right before the event starts.

    Here is a link to the Facebook event.

    I love Casanova, but question about Hudson in general...how hard is it to get a cab (Uber, Lyft, etc..) back to Minneapolis? Price isn't much of an issue, I'm willing to fork over enough. Has anyone tried this before with success from one of their cave parties? I REALLY want to go to this, but that's the outlying issue for the gf and I.

    I haven’t tried Ubering before. I have always arranged a ride with someone for Casanova events. A lot of people book a cheap hotel in Hudson. You could probably get an Airbnb for almost nothing at the end of January.

    Awesome, just got tickets. Wanted to go last year, but we were at the CW Anniversary Party instead.

    This event alters every other year with the sour beer cave fest to make sure they have time to stock up their cellar.

    Ah ok, that's the one we missed then. That's really awesome that they rotate. I'm guessing the one in April is just a smorgasbord of stuff then?

    Someone can start gathering a list of those who have tickets, and then everyone pitches in to pay for a party bus for transportation. I did a quick check for such services in the metro area, and it looks like a smaller bus can take about fifteen people, and the vehicle size goes up from there to hold forty or more.

    Yes. There are a lot more breweries that pour and less cellar stuff. It’s also a great beer festival, especially if you get the VIP tickets. It’s a much larger event and more crowded.

    Got my ticket! Last time there was plenty of Bourbon County, BA Speedway, MD, Assassin 14, all the 2015 BA Darkness you could ever want, and so much more.

    There was also SR-71, but I missed it.

    I forgot about that. I missed it as well but got maybe a half an ounce at Rubaiyat to kind of make up for it.

    Have not been B4. Is this really only 120 minutes long?

    The Facebook page and their Twitter post both say 1-4.

    It was a typo, but the first 120 minutes is all that I will remember.
