    I had a great time at it last year, but it's definitely not something I'll cut a family vacation short for.

    I almost died at The Big North last year. Filling those glasses to the top with BA beers was fucking nuts.


    So, what day is it this year?

    My guess is no growlers so they can distribute to the whole footprint.

    We usually stay around Traverse City, typically in Elk Rapids or Suttons Bay. This year we'll be in Glen Arbor.

    usually hits a week after brewery release, if past timing means anything

    I've seen comments by Half Acre on social media specifically saying it would distro next week.

    How crazy will it be if I show up between 5 and 7pm to go pick up some cans and maybe have a drink or 2?

    The taproom will be really busy. Might be able to squeeze in to try a pint or two, but I wouldn't necessarily say it'll be enjoyable. I'm sure can purchases will be a breeze though.

    It'll be fine later in the evening after that. I went last year and it was just normal friday busy. That is what I plan on doing.

    It was a shit show last year for bombers but it was also the Friday of Chicago Craft Beer Week. Hoping this afternoon will go smoother

    Yeah I'm going to head over there around 7 with some friends. I don't think it'll be an issue.

    Just went in and grabbed mine. Not much of a line at all when I was there. Very happy this isn't a Big Hugs situation as its the only HA release I go to these days. Yay cans!
