    If FFF burned down, I still still show up and drink in remembrance of my favorite brewery.

    Will there be a specific tap list today (what beer each brewery is bringing) or are we just to wait in anticipation?

    The tap list isn't that big of a deal. The odds of you getting anything specific and rare is slim to remote. The tap list is gonna be what ever is on when you get to the front of the line

    Gotcha Thanks for the heads up, this is my first one and I wasn't sure what to expect.

    Cheers!

    I'd say that the odds of you getting to the front of the line and having the option to buy a beer that you can't normally get in your area are better than a coin flip. The odds of you getting there just as they start pouring Barrel Aged Unobtainable Best Ever are very slim. But it's not like it was bleak last year. And at XV it was even easier, as there were more pouring stations.

    Right, but you can't plan on what you want to drink during the day, or wait for a specific beer to be tapped. You get your choice of whats pouring at the time. Even if they list all the beer that will tapped during the day, the odds of getting any specific one is remote.

    Looks like it will be much easier to get the taps you want this year. According to

    Its going to be more like XV with the large circus tent set up. That means multiple guest tap tables, not one huge line. I hope.

    Right Dan, but for a lot of us... honestly... there is zero chance that anything we get from the guest taps is going to compare to the insanity we have for free in the line. It's bonus time. Even if they had Rare and Sodom etc, in the line... the universe is going to be available. You're right, if you're looking at the guest taps as "I am specifically targeting X" then you might be set up for disappointment. But if you are in the line for a couple of hours, you should be able to soften that blow. :slight_smile:

    So you're saying my previous position of "I'm getting a glass of BA Hunahpu, but I'm bringing a cyanide pill just in case I don't" should be reconsidered?

    Looks like multiple guest tap tables. I was just there picking up some ZD because I fear it will sell out tomorrow.

    So what's the deal, are there separate lines for the pub and for DL, or do I have to stash my DL in a backpack and order something from the bar at the same time?

    the one huge line last year was so depressing

    Agreed! Though not as mind blowing as the bottle share at the Hampton. Wow!

    So what was tapped? Between what me and friends had I can confirm:
    Tocobaga red
    Puff the magic dragon ipa (or Something similar sounding) by sun king
    Hunahpu
    Apple brandy Zhukov
    CBS
    Bcs cherry
    Revolution tv party rye

    Btw the live a rich life was amazing and underrated
