    For the Wild Peach release, they were very specific that there would be 1,500 bottles released per day (2 per person, so 750 people). They sold out all 3 days.

    For Wild Bitter they didn't release any numbers to my knowledge (please correct me if this is wrong). The beer is still available.

    a
    I don't recall them specifically releasing an "actual" number per day, but saying the bottle counts per day were similar to the R&D Wild Peach release....so approx. 1,500 per day for what its worth. @WI-Beer-Man hit me up if you are going

    I gotta assume, that with this news, the FIBs have set up base camps at all the border towns...

    I am looking to hit the release on Saturday. If I get there around 9am, will I be SOL? This is my first trip to NG and I have no idea of what to expect.

    If the last release is any indication, you will be more than ok showing up pretty much any time on any of the days of this release.

    The best indicator on how Saturday for this release will go is how Thursday/Friday for this release go.

    Apologize if this was already answered... What are "horsey" notes?

    Can we change that to "Manure"? That way the FIBs will stay in Illinois.

    To be clear, it's also usually considered a good thing.

    Thanks! That's kind of what I expected. The barnyard funky farmouse spontaneous fermentation flavor

    Do you cheeseheads really get mad when us FIBS come up for beer releases? Last time I was up there everyone seemed so nice. Hoping to get back there on Saturday, I'll come better prepared with some beer this time. Come say hi.

    You should probably go Saturday too. Or I'll have to head up Thursday somehow

    I'll be there on Friday for sure. Might shoot for Sat too if I crash in Janesville and take the late shift Sat night.
