    I asked via Twitter and Upland confirmed no bottle sales this year. Anyone else forget the time change and was waiting another 30 min? Doh!

    Woke up at midnight to buy and still shut out of VIP. Got 2 regulars though so all is good. Had to miss it last year due to an out of state wedding so really looking forward to it.

    First time going for me, do they usually release a tentative list of what beers will be there or is it just show up and see?

    VIP Tix for me, I am really looking forward to this one. The unlimited pours of blackberry and raspberry last year was more than worth what I paid for the tickets, and i think it looks better this year. Plus hearing Caleb talk about his sours is always a blast

    One of the big concerns with me is that there's not a bottle reservation this year which likely means that none of the 2013 lambics are ready. IIRC the next "sour" to be ready is supposed to be Gilgamesh B2. Hopefully they'll have 2012 bottles of Blackberry, Raspberry, and Sour Reserve.

    I for one am excited for Perennial's sours! Had their Kiwi Lambic recently and it was awesome. Really looking forward their sour program.

    3 minutes? I was on at 11:01 CST and got 'pending' and then 'sold out'. I still got regulars though.

    Definitely be excited. Blueberry Flanders was the best beer at FOBAB. If they bring that to this event, it'll be worth the price of the ticket.

    Also the only beer I missed at FOBAB that I regret. Tapped out right in front of me, so I definitely hope they bring it.

    Update: At Kahns we will have four tickets to Upland's Sour+Wild+Funk Fest available in the Beerocracy raffle at our Sour Fest next Thursday night from 6-8pm at Keystone. The tickets will be HALF price. Additionally Upland will be selling remaining tickets at our event and we will have two Gilgamesh added to the raffle to further bolster the great selection of sours we have set already. It should be a great time for all. Cheers!

    Just saw an exciting picture of Upland doing some bottling today on Brew Bokeh's FB page. I'm more excited for this than I am fir Dark Lord.
