    Looks like Porter Beer Bar is getting it for the Atlanta folks.

    Awesome to see it will be at Saint Somewhere. Looking forward to Zwanze Day.

    I'm curious to see if they run it like Green Bench did, or more similar to what I've heard of RLRL's strategy. @flabeer ??? :wink:

    I'm bummed for Khris, but excited for Bob! He deserves a time to showcase the awesome new(ish) digs!

    Hopefully like Redlight. Went a few years back and that was great. Open to the public but drink ticket for a glass of zwanze. It was a lot of fun. Couldn't afford to pull the trigger on the Green Bench events but I'm sure those events were excellent.

    I completely lucked out last year. Was in SF the day after Zwanze Day and went to Mikkeller. I was planning to order the other Cantillon beers they had left over and the bartender told me they still have Zwanze left. Score!

    Niiiice! Last Zwanze @ FF they literally only had enough for exactly the amount of tickets they sold, so there was zero extras. Expected, but a little sad. And not being able to control the keg pressures and having to use pitchers to pour beers really slowed things down and was a bit frustrating as well.

    Good to see NC get a location after getting shut out entirely last year. Only one I've ever been to was at Jester King and that was pretty sweet. Mainly because they made it into a giant bottle share, not sure if they still do that or not.

    How much were tickets if you got chosen for the last time at FF for Zwanze day?

    I'm likely going to RLRL for the event, but never did one there yet, anyone have details on bottles / etc.? I presume tickets will be sold for the zwanze pour.

    No loons at all. You got your glass, your tshirt, and your pours. Fonta Flora has other beers during the day before the event and some guest taps (Jester King, nom).

    It was $75 a ticket (via lottery) for those items (tshirt, glass, and 6 pours (one of each loon they had, 4oz).

    Would be cool if it was at the Nebo location. That has to be close to opening with them hiring staff.

    It says Morganton on the post, but yeah that would be incredible. If not this year, then hopefully next.

    Do you have to pay $75 to enter the lottery, or only if you win?

    Only if you win, and that's even if FF 'sells' tickets like that this year, and if that's the price. I suspect the price will go up a little and they will likely do a different system as it was basically by hand last time.

    That would be pretty rough if you paid even if you didn't get a ticket, LOL. I think that's called gambling.

    Is there any forum on BA (or anywhere else) where one can see if Zwanze tix anywhere are for sale or trade?
