    The generosity of this site is awesome. Let me finalize things with the airline and I'll get back to you. I sincerely thank you.

    With all of the talk about people stealing and other negative things that happened, just wanted to throw out a huge thank you to the person who found my fiance's iphone and turned it into the pub. We got it back today, and it really made her day. If it was someone on here who reads this, please BM me because I have a couple of nice beers to send your way. Please send me the color of the case you turned in so I know I have the right person. Thanks again to the great person!

    In the off-chance that someone sees this, you picked up my 3 Dark Lords and a FFF/Intelligentsia snifter (in a FFF holder) after asking my buddy whose they were. He was a white, scruffy dude with a fro and didn't realize they were mine as I was doing a quick IP trade. This was earlier in the day, sometime between 11:15 and 11:30.

    If this sounds familiar or you know someone that fits this description, please contact me!!!

    I don't think the port and moscatel ever officially sold out. I believe I was last in line for group E right around 10:00 and they still had both available. I figured a quick nap in the grass was better than the line going around the corner. I bet a lot of group E people left without even getting DL or a scratch off because the line was long and delayed a few hours from when it was supposed to start.

    So what happens to left over bottles? Sold to employees maybe or do they cellar things?

    My faves from the taps and guest taps were 2011 Bourbon Dark Lord, BA Vanilla DL, Pappy Van Muckle!, Moscatel Dark Lord, and Cucumber Lager.

    Agreed, Ba Moloko was very disappointing. IMO I thought Older viscosity was tasting better than parabola and KBS that day. Also for some reason Black Albert was labeled as Mikkeller.

    Also I enjoyed revolution fistcal cliff.

    Some drunk kid came up to a group when D started to line up and tried to "sell" a bottle of Heady Topper for $150...unless any of our "boys" had some Abrasive to "roll out". I'm not familiar with a lot of that beer speak, but I think he was just intoxicated.

    Flat 12 Pappy IPA = so f'n delicious.

    Gotta saw my fav was the Napa BCS, but the Flat 12 was a solid #2. Dark Lord and Black Note would be #3 and #4.

    Awesome time as always, but was made more enjoyable by the organization (especially in the morning when things always turn chaotic).

    A giant thank you to Hannydawg for making me put on sunscreen and not buying my "I'm Mexican and therefore do not need sunscreen excuse" I tried to throw his way. You prevented me from hating myself on Sunday.

    Aside from my local and extended groups of friends from Chicagoland (you all know who you are) gotta toss another +1 Backfat's way for the huge pour of Ann early in the morning and to Pitasoup for the pour of Fantome La Gourmande which might have been the most interesting beer I tried this weekend.

    All the folks who stole things really need to take a look in the mirror as to why you are in this hobby (and while I'd love to believe its locals and douchebags who aren't in the online beer community I have my doubts).

    Hope to see a large number of you at future Chicagoland / Midwestern beer events!

    Cheers!

    We were one of the first in group C and vanilla was already sold out. Our group scored 2 port BA DL's.
