Most of the beers will be ready to pour at noon every day. The times are mainly for when the various brewers are going to be present.
Thanks for the clarification. I was wondering why the fest would have been limited to just those two hours during the week (per the email from Belmont Station), as that really made no sense. Now I get it. Thanks Chris.
I'll be there on Monday the 25th to pick up the dregs then OBF on following Wednesday. Looking forward to it.
DAT TAP LIST By the way, anyone know if or how often Breakside makes their gin-barrel-aged double wit, Bellwether. I still have dreams of that beer.
