    I was looking to get a hotel in St. Paul so I don't have to worry about driving especially following the after parties. Any other BA's have a place they are staying?

    Craaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaap I just realized I probably can't go to Winterfest. My buddy who bought the ticket is looking and I am too for a taker for it. Just 1 and I should know by this weekend, likely sooner if I can't make it. Just looking for face value and ticket fee. BM me

    Edit: I am selling only 1 ticket.

    My favorites were Fitger's, USA 25/25 IPA, Dangerous Man IIPA, Lift Bridge, Batch 500 Double IPA and Bent Paddle Nitro 14 ESB. So many interesting things to try last night and some things I missed. I thought everyone in attendance was friendly and courteous.

    Rosie's and Raspberry Coconut Jack Frost were my two faves. Project 3106 was absolutely delicious, also!

    Yeah the Rosie's Old Ale was pretty amazing. I was so impressed with it that I had to drive over to Barley Johns today and get a few more. $9 for a 5 oz pour. I thought that was kinda steep and then I made the mistake of asking how much a growler cost... Well worth it though.

    Missed Rosie's, but didn't really need another 18% beer in my system. My favorites: Fitger's Slippery Slope (cacao coconut milk stout), Northbound Snownami (raspberry chocoloate; liked it better than TH's raspberry coconut jack frost...), Great Waters Invidia Barleywine, Schell's Marzen Weisse

    I had three beers from Fitgers, both 25/25's and the slippery slope and they were outstanding. I can't wait for Monday when I will hopefully be getting some bottles of the 25/25's. Everything from town hall was amazing, And Surly of course. I really liked the 2010 Smoke.
