    This and the jacked-up price are the reasons I stopped going to this - had been going since 2009.

    Yeah everybody ran for the Chemtrail and Henna. Lots of good beers here though. I like Prop 18 quite a bit.

    I got trapped in NYC by a snow storm and had to miss today but will be there for the early session tomorrow. Any of you generous folks who are there tonight want to post the sours list? It sounds like everyone’s talking about the same stouts.

    This is my 5th Fuhbab and I have never seen so many husbands apologizing to their wives.

    Another great FOBAB, sour selection especially. Most importantly the coat check was wonderful this year! :joy:

    The 3Sheeps BA Uber Stout (35), Werk Force Brewing Farmhouse Vultures (30) with blackberries and raspberries were my two favorites at my volunteer station in row 1. 3 Floyd’s Chemtrailmix (34) was very good, but you won’t get without an imbibe ticket as this was the first to kick followed by Hanna and than Modern Times.

    Ranking of other beers tried:
    Mikkeller Bine Mender
    Firestone Walker Mole Merkin

    BCS Orange was Ok, BCS vanilla meh. My not go to the BCS Binnys release after those tastes. The GI line was absurdly long, should wait till last call or first thing if Line isn’t beyond room close the established ropes.

    Volunteering was fun, only one Dbag foin the crowd bitching about not pouring fast enough for FFF. Volunteer staff excellent. Main men’s room closed for over an hour after someone puked all over the place.

    I will pace myself tomorrow, not worried about the handful of whalzzz.
