    Who all is attending?
    What are you most excited for?
    Are questions best asked in sets of 3?

    Me
    HF beers (don't trade so only had a few and none of the one's that are currently listed) and The Fox And The Grapes
    Yes

    Hoping for Tilquin Mure, Framboos, and/or some other stuff along those lines (like Hommage and LPK last year) in the ticketed bottle pour portion if that gets done again.

    I am attending!
    Hill Farmstead, Funk Factory, Sante Adairius, Rare Barrel
    Three is a pretty good number.

    Hey! That Fox and The Grapes is one of my bottles. Though my others haven't have been added yet. Expect they're still moderating/adding bit by bit. Excited for this. I think there's a lot of special stuff yet to come for the share.

    Whoever is running the list is paring it down as duplicates come in. Once the deadline hits they'll further cull the shittier beers on the list.

    Still deciding on what to add but I'm excited for the options so far.

    Oh, just refreshed the list and '11 Framboos just went to the top of my "excited for" pile.

    Estoy Asistiendo!!!
    Rare Barrel, SARA (never had anything from either)
    Bringing an 18th St. Sour Note Series Flanders Red, a Destihl St. Dekerra Reserve Pomme, and probably an Upland Lambic or something else I've not yet decided (Jester King, Bruery, etc.).

    This list must be changing, and fairly often. I see no Framboos or Fox and the Grapes...

    Thought my 2012 Tilquin and 3F gueuzes would make it but so far aren't listed. Maybe redundant given what's available for the event. Will probably have to up my game and bring a Golden Blend.

    I feel like you get pretty size pours of what you bring, glad to see everyone bringing their best stuff!

    I've never participated in this event... how does it usually work? Do they only take the 100 best bottles for the share?

    So awesome! Pretty crazy we'll have a full vertical including what they're pouring inside.

    Well then!

    But yea, so last year I'm not sure how many bottles were given. I THINK this year they're expecting a few more people to attend and so, aside from just making for a better event, they're asking people to really bring out their good beers for the share. I'm not sure what happens if and when 100 bottles gets exceeded...do they start kicking people out who registered first and have "shelf beers" versus the person who signs up two days out, with a Loon a SARA beer?! I guess we don't know for sure.

    The list updating is wonky but addicting to check out. Definitely seems like some beers are disappearing then reappearing later. There appeared to be some more Loons earlier but now I just see Rosé.

    If it's anything like last year, the WTWBA guys themselves will contribute some pretty special bottles and I'm not sure if those are represented in that list or not. I'd suspect not. Surprises are fun.
