    yeah, DTB is contract brewed by firestone, at least that is my understanding. Pour House sells off premise at retail pricing. 15c, though they usually get quality beers they tend to have higher mark ups. I didnt know about old bottles in there but i'm not surprised either. More of a wine crowd.

    There have been no additions on specific beers since the list posted earlier in this thread.

    Well they had a post about Three Floyds today, with a photo of a Dark Lord bottle, and glass filled with it next to it. They did NOT specifically say that Dark Lord would be there...but I hope this is inferred with the choice of photo :slight_smile: but it could be nothing.

    That's the closest they've come, though -- the rest of the pictures are generic brewery shots.

    Yep, very true. Personally I'm fine if they don't announce all the taps, might prevent mad dashes to one spot or another, and certain taps blowing right away. Really looking forward to the event.

    I was thinking the same, but I sided with "its probably nothing."
    However, given that each brewery has brewer/owners coming they probably want to come with their heaviest hitter... so, I'm ALL for hoping DL makes it way to Paso. If not, there's always the bottle share to break out a DL! :slight_smile:

    See, I think 3Floyds is going to do Zombie Dust plus something barrel-aged. BA Behemoth might make more sense. I'm most excited to see what Founders brings. Those guys always bring heavy hitters. Maybe Cashew Mountain Brown or Black Biscuit?

    And I can't believe Bell's is bringing Wild One. So amazing.

    I just hope that each brewery brings more than a 5 gallon keg of their "rare" beer.

    Agreed on wild one, that will be great! Rumor is old Curmudgeon for Founders, but just locals saying this, nothing in writing, so could be a false rumor too.

    That's pretty lame. Totally not bringing their A-game in Curmudgeon. At least bring some KBS, dudes. And I say this as a Michigan native and long time fan.

    I truly hope 3 Floyds brings something good. I know every year at GABF i am disappointed with what they bring...

    I wonder what RR is set to bring? My guess is Row 2 and like Supplication/Consecration. It would be awesome if they brewed a couple kegs of younger but I doubt they would want to bring that much attention to themselves.

    If anyone has extra two tickets let me know. Would throw in some a few beers to make it happen. Thanks.

    This one is finally creeping up on us! Really excited for this one.

    So, is there a hotel bottleshare in the works, or should I try to set one up? :rolling_eyes:

    I know a lot of us are staying at the Motel 6 and have mentioned bottle shares...nothing has been set up as far as I know. My group will be there Friday, so after we spend some time at FW, we'll be opening bottles in multiple rooms.
