    Doesn't that happen for every fest?

    Not sure. Actually, I think most fests are trying to get breweries on board right to the last minute. This is the first time I've heard of there being a waiting list for a WBC event. For whatever reason, this fest has always had certain issues: location and space being the big 2. There's just not that many good locations for an indoor fest is Seattle.

    I went last year and it was awesome. Sounds like it will be even better this year.

    Hopefully everyone boycotts the Elysian booth. I know I will.

    I will do a futile but dramatic gesture of walking up and turning my back on them.

    yeah the number of shattering tasting glasses really, really picks up about 2 hours into this fest in my experience. pretty fun stuff.

    One of my buddies cannot make it, so I have an extra ticket for the 12-4 event. Anyone need one? We can meet out front. I will sell it at cost.

    The Black Raven offerings were really top notch. A very enjoyable event this year, and can't wait for Cask Beer Fest.
