FOBAB 2016

Yes, but 1 of them was Nocturnal, definitely worth the walk down the long back hallway.

 

The back room was outstanding. Wicked Weed, WeldWorks, Fram. de Amarosa, Jester Kind ect. ect. ect.

 

The back room was great.

The ciders and meads were only about 10-15 "stations" in the back of that room though.

 

Attended the Sat. night session and had a blast. So many great beers to choose from. Crowded? Yes but that's to be expected at a huge event like this one.
The only suggestion that I have for next year is please do not place Prop and Parabajava next to each other, especially that close to the exit that lead to the sour room.
Regardless, great time.
Cheers!!

 

There was a back room?

 

Had to show your FIB ID to get in.

 

What is this amature hour?

You had to go down that back halway, into the wardrobe, and around the corner.

 

I only made it out the back hallway to go to the bathroom

 

I thought that tap handle looked a bit strange...

 

Okay, well done.

 

Anyone got any scoop on 2017 yet? I know we are quietly approaching imbibe purchasing dates.

 

Tickets went on sale mid-september last year

 

Thanks for the reminder. I forgot to renew my IMBIBE membership.

 

From the IMBIBE site regarding FoBAB:

Enthusiast membership must be active by August 31, 2017 for ticket sale for eligibility.

 

Imbibe website makes it look like we don't get a t-shirt or magazine subscription this year. I hope I'm just missing something.

Right, but I wanted to make sure I had my imbibe membership active on time.

 

Just need that voulenteer sign up.

 

This will be my first time renewing my membership. Do they send you like a renewal notice/bill or do you just go on the site, make payment and expect renewal? It sounds like the latter but thought I'd check. Thanks in advance.

 

it is the latter. i've never received any notification regarding when my membership expires.
