    Been waiting for this post! (Mostly because I'm on here more than Facebook)

    Last year's was a surprise in how much fun I had, so I can't wait to go back again this year. Are beer rotations going to be similar to last year (I think an hour to an hour a half was quoted?)?

    Yep, beers will be rotated every hour and a half to two hours.

    Does that mean only one beer from list above is on tap at a time? How long will go to? I might be able to come in the evening is why I ask...

    There are a bunch of beers on tap at a time, rotating. If it's like last year, there are multiple bars pouring different beers at the same time, all day. I went early in the day and in the evening last year, plenty of good stuff both times.

    There will be 24 different beers on at once and we will put a new beer on every hour in a half to two hours. There will also be a massive list of BA bottles for sale.

    Mikerphone's BA Innocent Criminal was an awesome surprise. Shame I only grabbed one pour before it kicked!
