    Yep.

    Also saw him try to refill the pitcher of BF and run the open tap onto the floor for a good 5 seconds

    It was a bit surprising that a few of the volunteers had either never filled a vessel from a keg or filled a glass from a pitcher before. Or maybe they just panicked in the heat of the moment and failed to fall back on their training....

    Pipeworks and Haymarket killed it with all of their entries. Cannot wait for the PW barrel program to take off. Haymarket Clare's was one of (if not) the best there yet again and Indignant was phenomenal.

    One Trick Pony burned down last night, no point in wasting your valuable time trying to find them.

    They were a LOT more diligent about taking tickets last year. I was toeing the line of blacked out drunk last year by 3:15 (rookie mistake) and still had about 8 tickets left. This year I made it until 5, felt pretty buzzed but not bad, and was totally out of tickets.

    In the early session I had a good run of unticketed beer. Then I saw this lady with a headset come throughtelling all the servers to take tickets. by the end they were taking tickets before they would pour:slight_frown:

    I was pretty disappointed when I saw only 15 tickets in the book, I thought maybe I had lost the other 15 or something. $50 for 30 oz of beer is pretty steep. Then I found a bunch of tickets on the floor and I felt a lot better.

    Missed on fuzzy and blueberry Flanders but had plenty of saison du fermier so life is still good! Ended up drinking 3 full glasses of the wild one in the last 2 minutes of the second session.
