    What beautiful labels! Very awesome of Westbrook to put together an event like this and execute it so well with killer brews. I look forward to trying anything from them. All I've had was Mexican Cake, and wow...just wow.

    I doubt it only because some was on tap outside and some of it kicked. You can always call and see. I know minigrowler with choc/sea salt is gone

    Like I said in another thread (maybe this one). Take a French press, add coffee grounds and Mexican cake. We take a mesh bag and fill it with coffee and drop it in a keg and fill it with MC. Basically the same thing

    Scary since god knows where your hands have been. Please everyone, wash your bottles.

    in my experience the waits for inside drafts were longer than for the outside tent with the exception of near the beginning when they ran out of glasses outside and nobody moved for 5 minutes.

    Everyone in line got a bottle. Pretty cool, IMO. We only had one guy in line complain, and that was mainly because Ryan was confusing him with the number/name system. Other than that, we had nothing but compliments. I am not ready to so this again soon, so I am hoping Old Time is low key. Those bottles may be ready in a month.

    my 1 suggestion, and this is not a critique, factor the tax into the bottle/pour price so people aren't having to figure out extra change, etc, holding up the lines a bit when purchasing.
    I now know that 6 bottles of BAMC is not $120, but $132.70 and a $4 draft pour is really $4.30...

    I think they should have RaverJames standing on top of the stairs holding up a sign displaying the current ticket number or the number on deck.

    I was shocked that people still use cash.

    ?Morgan? was very insistent when giving out tickets on having separate cash and credit lines to speed up the process...

    haha, a few of us joked that they should have had a deli style #s system: "now serving, #39. #39. now serving, #39"

    I think those of us who go to Foothills releases have been conditioned to bring cash since it's much quicker there where they only have one line and one CC machine. Granted their prices also include the tax so it's really easy to just hand over a couple $20s and be on your way vs swiping a card, waiting for it to go through, printing a receipt, signing the receipt, and then getting your copy of the receipt to get the bottles.
