    I am on of the lucky ones that gets to pour beer at the GABF this year. We are pouring for section V which is the Southeast. Being fortunate with all our colorado breweries, I have not ventured into the SE region except for some of the well known ones like Cigar City. Anyway, I was hoping for recommendations on which breweries to try and pour (and sample) for. The list is below. Thanks.

    Kegs are available in the market. If there is a particular bar that you are sweet on let them know that they can order it through Brown.
