    I just won tickets to GI's 312 block party, but I can't find much information on the event. Does anyone have any insight as to what this entails? Can anyone that went last year share their experience?

    Delete this so the people who haven't won have better odds "wink wink".

    I have no idea on the details though.

    The tickets entitle you to get into the Block Party where there will be good bands and beer(which you must purchase). Lots of BA beers. That is all.

    Only GI stuff or do other breweries participate?

    I didn't know you had to pay for tue beers. I thought it was like the 25th anniversary and beers were included. Not sure it's worth entering every day anymore?

    Last year it was like $20 for 7 or 8 tokens. I'll pay 2 and a quarter for a pour of Pear BCBS any day.

    I just hope it isn't as big as that Block Party they had earlier this year. The size and quality of this even last year was perfect.

    i was considering going until i saw that they were selling tickets. makes me think it'll be a repeat of the other block party. for the sake of those going, i sure fucking hope not.

    Soooo no giveaways at tap takeover events around the city like last year? That was a lot of fun

    Agreed. Even though I didn't make it to the block party I definitely enjoyed the available bourbon county and variants at the tappings

    Anyone know of an event where they're giving away tickets? I just saw on twitter they were at the release of "Two More Weeks."
