    I didn't see a thread created specifically for this topic so I figured I would get it started. Many of the events are a little vague when it comes to details (specific beers on tap, for example). Thought we could use this thread to add specifics as each event releases them. Can't wait for this week to be upon us!

    Have the collaborations been announced? The website is blocked at work.

    As in, who is collaborating with who? Or do you mean what each beer will be?

    Who with who + what the beer will be. I think it saw it out there when I looked from home.

    Looks like a lot of events are happening on Friday. I plan on hitting Pies and Pints (easton) first. Where else are people heading?

    Going to Giant Eagle Grandview Yard to try all of the collab beers for sure.

    You're a champion, my man! We have found this to be amazingly helpful. With so many events going on, it's tough to decide what makes the cut and what doesn't. Hopefully a lot more of the event venues begin posting more details (exact beer lists, for example) as the week progresses.

    If the wife is willing to watch the kids solo for a bit, I'll be @ Pies and Pints as well. It would be awfully difficult to drive right past it on the way home from work and NOT stop in for a pint.

    Really curious about this one. I want to know what the beer is that Founders and Fat Heads made together. I may stop out there before the GE event.

    Turns out it is Smoke N' Burn. It's a smacked porter with chiles. I had it at Fat Heads a few weeks ago. Not bad, but nothing I would seek out again.

    The bottle release at 4 String at noon Saturday looks good. Icarus w/ Raspberries. 144 bottles. Hibiscus Ale w/ Sichuan Peppercorns, conditioned on Raspberries.

    I'll be picking one up. Everything with raspberries that I've had from Four String has been pretty good.

    I'm going to check with Pies & Pints to see if they are really waiting until 5:00 to tap the Founders/Fat Head's stuff or if anything will be on at lunch. Looks like we have company tonight so can't make it there after work.

    If I don't end up at P & P, I hope to hit up B-Spot for the Revolution stuff, since it says that starts at 11:30.

    I am interested in the B-Spot Revolution thing, but all of the other stuff I want is located near the Campus/Grandview area so I may be skipping out on that one. Hitting The Crest for the Hoof Hearted casks, Bodega for some of their CBW only beers, and then GE Market District to try all of the collaboration beers in one spot.

    Heading down tonight from MI for a wedding tomorrow and plan to stop and get some of that Citrus Blast Bodhi at Winking Lizard, any idea how long that will last?
