    Anyone know if backpacks will be allowed? I want to bring my DSLR and I wanna store it in my backpack.

    Per the MBG website:

    So it would seem that you can bring a backpack/bag.

    What a great time. Dark Horse crushe this beer Fest. Their layout was a little shitty though. Black note at 4pm was killer too.

    Dark Horse did get a lot of attention with all of their great beer and great setup. I really enjoyed the Livery's offerings. Kuhnhenn had an Asian thing going on, and I wasn't that impressed.

    Anyone that went yesterday come up with any can't miss beers? I already have a pretty good sized list of things I want to try but I feel like I always miss something at one of the smaller or newer places.

    Molly from Livery. Strawberry Hefe from Hopcat. Vanilla Porter from Bad Bear. Monster 29 from DH. Black Note from Bells. Sobre from JP. Bourbon Black Cherry from Shorts. Those are the ones that stuck out the most for me.

    Already had Monster, BN, Sobre and the Cherry on my list. I'll add the other three as things to try.

    Thanks.

    Bad Bear really impressed me. They only brew on a 1bbl system!

    At 8:59 I happened to be near the Livery, and BA Red Molly was one I hadn't tried yet so I got some to drink on my way to the exit. It was perhaps the best beer I had all evening! I'm sad I didn't try it earlier, because I would have gone back for seconds...

    Dark Horse absolutely killed it. Monster 29, BBPt5, Sarsparilla 666.... The Kuhnhenn stuff was good, too. I loved Fortune Cookie and the Ginger Citrus mead. Bummed that I missed Bourbon Black Cherry Porter from Shorts, likely due to spending too much time in the Dark Horse tent

    New Holland Sour Attitude was really tasty. I wouldn't miss Dark Horse Coconapple Ale or HomoBourbon Sapient.

    I really enjoyed the Dark Horse chili stout. Brewery Vivant's stout was a very pleasant surprise. And the 19 year old in me loved Greenbush's malt liquor.

    Lots of great stuff between The Livery, Dark Horse, Short's, Kuhnhenns & Big Rock

    Ill probably be revisiting most of the standouts today

    Felt like dark horse was the clear winner with smells like weed and monster 29. Also enjoyed all you can drink black note at the red rock bbq down the street prior to the event! Kind of disappointed with founders... Stood in line for kbs before 6 and the keg kicked in less than 15 mins so many of us didnt even get a pour.

    Haha we spent some time watching people exit that trailer down that sketchy makeshift ramp. That thing looked like a disaster waiting to happen.
