    I've had an offering or two from each brewery. Broken Skulls IPA from El Segundo was pretty solid. Would love to have more of Beachwood. Really enjoyed a sour from them (Into the Great Unknown w. Mosaic) and wouldn't mind having more of Amalgamator, which will be on cask this weekend!

    not overly enthused by the Cali offerings, but probably a few gems in there. Beachwood is generally pretty solid. Have never had El Segundo myself though.

    Honestly the IPA offerings are usually average at best. Stick with everything else and you'll be happy.

    Absolutely - I'll look at the OH offerings (and I'll get sucked into trying DDH Roman Candle), but the rest of them (including the entire "IPA Challenge") will likely be a big skip for me. To me, the cask serving temperature, carb level and mouthfeel just don't bode well for IPA/DIPAs.

    Same situation as Coronaeus. My sore throat isn't healing up. Selling my ticket for Session 2, Friday EARLY ACCESS at face value ($60), if anyone is interested.

    Can't remember if they let you bring beer in there. I do remember them checking bags. I might be wrong about that though.
    Enjoy

    Looking for people I know and those that have described themselves. No luck so far. I am already three sheets to the wind though.....

    Tons of security last night and pretty disgusting portapotties which obviously not emptied. Out of just about everything.

    Wondering if anyone here got VIP lounge passes and what that was all about. Was there any special taps in the lounge area or was it just breathing room with seating and separate washrooms?

    the latter from what i was told. very few people paid for them. sunday only for me going forward, assuming bottle pours and carbonation as per today. However, family has got to change cash desk people (common in small businesses) as I highly believe money was pocketed.

    I just went to the Sunday beer garden event. It was alright I think every beer I had on cask (mostly stouts) were all infected but the draft pours from Bar Volo were solid.. I feel it's just getting worse each year though. Just my opinion.
