    Wasted on lust, perhaps.

    After reading this complaint for the 400th time I feel the need to explain the window/heat situation.

    The building management agreed to not have the heat running in the event space beginning on Friday morning (for the sake of the beer then and the crowd to come the next day). They did not follow through on this promise. Leading up to the event and during the first session the building manager was swearing that the heat was off and that the windows could not be opened. Finally somebody said "screw it" and just tried to open the windows and viola. But please stop thinking the ICBG and FoBAB crew are too stupid to realize it is hot and that ventilation helps with that.

    I agree. And it's hard not to when you are drinking beer after beer. This kinda goes with any other major beer tasting festival.

    Looking forward to drinking some amazing beer with you first session people.

    Indeed! I'd love to crack some beers with you when I'm in town for FoBAB-maybe Friday the 15th? We can open some .rarz and listen to old Incubus CDs. Let's be in touch as we get closer to the event. I'll be coming in with a couple guys from my LA tasting group.

    All we need now are 2 more flavors and the Goose blending station will be good to go.

    Pear & Cherry King Henry aged for an additional 6 months in apple brandy barrels with cinnamon sticks. Boom.

    Or maybe they would source some of the barrels Letherbee used for their barrel-aged absinthe?

    Or in a nod to Laffler, take barrels Few used for barrel-aged gin?

    ETA: For the record, I think either idea would be gross but I would love seeing people fall over themselves to praise them just because they have 'King Henry' in the title.

    My completely non-random speculation is that Fitger's Bourbon Ed will be there and fly under the radar again as one of the best BA Imperial Stouts.

    first FOBAB this year! I saw that you get 15 sample tickets...about how many beers are there at the event? I am assuming that 15 high ABV beers will be more than enough but I'm sure there will be so much more I want to try
