    I just learned about this event a few days ago - and we're seriously considering going.

    I am convinced.
    I learned about it from your brewing pal (name escapes me) from last week's FauxBAb....

    You should definitely go. I've been to all but one of them, and have had a great time at each. Something about drinking really "big" beers outside in the middle of winter really is awesome.

    Definitely going, it was beyond a blast last year even though I couldn't feel my feet while waiting in line, after the two double servings of Black Note I didn't care.

    For those who have gone to this before - what's the nearest hotel and/or the recommended hotel nearest to the location?

    I didn't notice they went up to $45. Still worth it, but damn man, why the $10 raise?

    Hopefully it won't sell out in 12 hours.

    Hopefully the increase in price is in response to better planning this year suggesting all beers are a flat 1 token/pour.

    MBG Member here, so I will be hitting up dat presale and getting in an hour early. Last year I had about three pours of BB4D before the general public even got in. So worth it.

    I will be left to try to get tickets with great unwashed non-MBG Member masses....
