    Just saw our (New Belgium) keg allotments come across my desk for our event on Sunday. Not even sure Falling Rock knows about this yet. NBB Love Apple Whiskey, Biere de Peach, Ooh La La Leopold Stout and many more. Whoa!

    I'll be posting our entire week's events under the "Event" forum later on. What a helluva week we're gonna have in Denver. Can't wait!

    I think that means you might have a persuasion to being attracted to great beer.

    Hmmm...the Cigar City stuff conflicts with the Rare Beer tasting at the 'Koop. I might have to pay someone off to grab a glass for me.

    Unfortunately it's being tapped during the Rare Beer Tasting

    So is Hunahpu not going to be at Falling Rock?

    I sent them an email offering to host a keg at my house. Not sure no matter how I worded it they were going to take it seriously though.

    I think he means it's being poured during the time slot of the Rare Beer Tasting, so if you're going to that, you'll miss the Falling Rock (unless it doesn't get all drunked :slight_smile: )

    Been holding off on buying a 50/50 eclipse due to price so this might be a good opportunity to see what the hype is about without breaking the wallet.

    Hoping for that as improbable as it is.

    People going to the DRBT will be just fine...and CC will be there with something cool, too.

    By the way, can someone post this exact same topic with the title: See People-Who-Missed-Out-On-GABF-Tickets? You're Still Going To Have Fun!!!

    I echo the disdain for having the Hunaphu tapped during Rare Beers. Ugh. Wait does that mean the CCB guys aren't going to be at RB this year? I rather enjoyed talking to them last year.
