    Careful - that was last year's list. No announcement has been made about what Two Brothers will be bringing that I am aware of.

    It was at FOBAB last year... I was not terribly impressed, especially after trying a number of the other anniversary components. There were a ton of great barleywines last year though, so that may have been why.

    Anyone heading into the city on the Metra west line tomorrow afternoon? The train times aren't very convenient for the evening session from Elmhurst :slight_frown:

    Have a printed ticket for the 6 pm session for sale at cost. I'll be at Greenbush in 40 minutes, and Solemn Oath in Naperville later on tonight. Could meet up at 11:30 at the event or at the venue at 4:30 or 5 (leaving to catch a train then, so preference given to the earliest hookups!)

    Per Two Brotherssss' facebook:
    "FOBAB is tomorrow, Two Brothers is bringing Testudo Biere de Mars, a collaboration between City Provisions and Two Bros, as well a unreleased beer Mad Martagain...a foudre project that is tart, oaky, with a clean finish. It will be a barrel of fun..."

    Whee.
