    Decent tap list.

    I won't be there. Got the kiddo and it'll be super crowded

    Not nearly as intriguing as last year's list.

    I think that says more about the growth in craft beer in Houston, and less about Hay Merchant. Still quite a solid list. Just I don't think I'll be taking a half day from work to attend this year.

    So anyone going to this? It starts at 3, will it be worth it to even try and go by 6:30?

    I'll definitely be there at some point. Gonna try to be up there around 3 if I can

    Is everything tapped at once or randomly/scheduled throughout the day?

    I'm wondering the same thing. Might make my decision for me depending on the answer. Someone asked them on Facebook, but they haven't responded yet.

    While I appreciate free, I wouldn't even want a shaker pint. I have about 100 I never use already.
