    Yep, I'll be there. I wanted to hit the Lounge Friday night, maybe JWB will be open early enough so that I can do both. Gonna be a great weekend for sure.

    I mean, I was hoping for some DFPF or Miami Madness, personally. I hope you all enjoy jolly rancher berliners (seriously, what does that even mean?) Yellow Dragon Tea berliner and hazelnut coffee imperial sweet stout sound like they could be tasty though.

    Fresh, natural fruit is used and Mango is out of season (Miami Madness). DFPF is being brewed next week, but most will be bottled for the OG's.
    Yes

    Ehh...the Buddha tap room and grounds holds a lot more peolle then JWB. It's also their first day open, which usually results in operational problems, finally all the beer geeks are in town. It's really the worst possible time to "soft open"

    Even the Buddha brewery opening (which was also a shit show in some respects, had a much gentler soft opening to vip members)

    My guess is that JWB will run out of beer.

    But hey. I'm a pessamist.

    He will run out of the specialty beers, I don't expect he'll run out of the core beers (except possibly the basic berliner). He's definitely going to have a shit show on his hands. Place is small relative to the giant group of people coming his way. It's unavoidable, really. That said, godspeed to all going down this weekend.

    I decided against riding down to jwb tonight, I feel like it's going to be an absolute shitshow there. I wanted to get there, but I imagine there are....quite a few folks there.

    I'd be there if it weren't for this pesky job that seems to eat up so much of my time.

    It's busy here but not overwhelmingly crowded. All beers haven't run out yet. So far, everything is great!

    Decent crowd at 9 or so, not anything crazy. No wait for the beer. Hibiscus Berliner and Emperor's Cloud Green Tea IPA were awesome

    Great soft opening. Very busy, not crowded, and not one beer tapped out yet. Will also be at Funky tomorrow and will enjoy myself.
    Don't have to condemn if you're not gonna commend. Looks bad. Cheers.
