    A note about cabs again -- it may not be easy to grab one from the Sox-35th Red line stop (and the 35th St. bus may not run all that frequently -- be sure to use bustracker by text/app when you get there!).

    Here's something from Metropolitan that's coming: Double Diablo Dynamo.

    See what you get to look forward too. Brewers are the next 80s hair metal rockers only the groupies are dudes with b cups and beards.

    I remember someone calling Greg Hall a celebrity a couple years ago to which my response was:
    "Are you serious?"

    ....changing the subject....

    We don't have any sort of list of breweries that will be attending, do we? I'm assuming we just find out once we get there. Which notable breweries have been there in past years? Can we expect the likes of Russian River, Deschutes, The Bruery, Three Floyd's, New Glarus, etc?

    The names that I have heard mentioned so far are:

    Goose Island (multiple locations)
    Revolution
    Jester King
    Pipeworks
    Flat 12
    Oakshire
    Atlas
    Pig Minds
