    Didn't see a thread about it this year, anyone going? I'm now living within spitting distance and figure I should check it out. What time do the races start?

    Also, I'm not sure how I could possibly withhold my support from a 3-legged goat.

    I say I'm going to go to this every year and never do, but I don't have anything particular to do Sunday so maybe this is the year…

    Last year things started to get crazy in terms of the crowd size. That won't keep me away, though. Maybe my favorite event of the year and I've been jonesing for Hefeweizen-Doppelbock since last year.

    They did just debut a new tulip glass at the brew pub. Would be an interesting choice

    Considering what they'll be pouring, I don't see why you'd want to!

    Ditto. Used to be a fun event, but the crowd is getting way too large.

    You the type of a guy who sneaks a hoagie into steakhouse, just to save a few bucks?

    It's been on at the brewpub and tastin' room for a couple of weeks now, and as John mentioned above, it is amazing.

    I say this is all honesty, it's a top ten beer for me. Maybe top 5.

    Last year was my first (and sadly, only) year, so I can't compare it to years past. But the crowd size was not an issue for me. We arrived "late" - most of the food was already sold out - but we were still able to get up to the rope to watch the races. I had a good time, and wouldn't tell anybody to skip it. Especially if you've never been.

    Stella is my favorite four-legged goat. She's a talker.
