    Veterans of Big North...I have a work outing Saturday & I'm not sure when it will end. If I just pop in at around 6pm, you think I'll be able to just purchase a ticket at the door? Do these always sell out?

    Any advice is appreciated. I've never been!!

    I do not recall tickets being sold at the door either of the first two years. I think you have to buy online and it is likely to sell out by Saturday. (But I would have guessed it would have sold out by now...)

    In terms of arrival, any time works. We've arrived at 5 PM or a little after the last two years and didn't feel like we missed anything. With that said, "special" tappings did seem to die down last year after about 7:30 PM. The first year I distinctly remember sipping a Benthic as things were winding down.

    They stopped selling tickets like the week before typically but seeing as they are still on sale, who knows!

    I saw they are still on sale at the Empty Bottle website...I just don't want to plunk down the money in case I don't have time to make it.

    And sounds fantastic as well. Tuna is such a solid beer. Hopefully it makes a surprise appearance at Big North.

    It'll be released in a brown box with a Fed Ex Label when you are able to send 1 of each 2018 Bourbon County Variant to CA.

    Have a can of Gone Away and Dungeons, which I'm looking forward to trying soon. The can of Tuna I had last night was excellent. Very much in the Daisy Cutter mold, but with an abv. that makes pounding several at a time a practical option. Had Vallejo on tap this past weekend. Good, but probably the least impressive beer I've had from them so far.

    My research continues...
