    Pretty sure I never used "OMG" in any post on here.

    I wasn't trying to call you out specifically - apologies if it came out that way - was just meant to be a thought to the BA community in general...

    Looks like they revised the sample tickets from 30 to 15.

    FOBAB is a FIB only event, in case any non-FIBs got any ideas of coming!

    TG is not coming. Some of the brewers may be in attendance. But they aren't submitting beer this year.

    Maybe next year.

    In related news: Entries are capped right now. I believe any remaining spots may go in some sort of lottery as more people and beers get submitted.

    I went through 16 fairly easily last year. When spending $50+ for a event you shouldn't have to buy more tickets to try more beers IMO.

    this is what BPT is saying the admissions buys:
    Admission includes commemorative tasting glass, 15 sample tickets, and a souvenir program.

    the souvenir program last year was worth $50 by itself!

    So can you buy additional tickets there if you run through the 15?
