    What were everyone else's favorite beers from the share?

    The 3F blend was pretty spectacular and the blackberry sour was very tasty...that last table standing of sours was mind blowing

    Freetail's app says their 4th anniversary party weekend is Nov 23-25. I'm new to the area, anybody know what usually goes on that weekend?
    They're also having an End of the World Party 12/21, "The world might end, so we should probably drink all this epic beer. Stay tuned for details"

    The Heady Topper was a surprise as was Robert the Bruce(thank you Highwine). The Sang Noir and DuClaw HERO was phenomenal (thanks Lady of Much Beer). Other notables for me were Pumpking, Zombie Dust, Tommy & Armand, Guava Grove and Raspberry Tart (Fart).

    Robert the Bruce was surprising? I'd be more surprised by a brewery only release. RtB is most everywhere that FFF distributes.

    That said, almost any FFF beer would be a treat. :slight_smile:

    That was my first Zombie Dust. And damn it totally lives up to the hype. Was also very happy to try the (512) DPP and not have it explode.

    Abner was also tasty on the hop end of the spectrum.

    Man I'm kinda sad this is already over.

    ZD is great. I've got a bunch I need to get drinking!

    Armand & Tommy was my favorite of the day by a longshot. What an awesome treat. I almost passed it up, thinking it was the regular Gueuze. Glad I looked more carefully!

    I love the fact that there were three world-class gueuzes there. Gueuze is my favorite style by far and they always steal the show. No DIPA or BBA Stout can match that level of complexity and craftsmanship.

    Honorable mentions go to Zombie Dust (always a treat), Surly Wet, and Sang Noir.

    Do they bottle date ZD yet? It's always the pits to get one and the hops have faded...

    Yes LadyofBeers gueuze was also outstanding...I almost couldn't drink it I loved the smell so much

    I didn't see a date on the bottle, and I looked. 3 Floyds has never dated their bottles, which I think is a mistake. I can never tell if Dreadnaught and others are fresh.

    I brought the ZD and although I have had a little fresher its still quite nice and I wish the bottles did have a born on date.

    I set my pour of the HERO down and lost it. Glad someone enjoyed it. lol

    The Tommy and Armand was probably my number one of the day. I really enjoyed the mystery Freetail, hence me wanting to know what it was. My gueuze was the Hanssens, and honestly I enjoyed the other two a tad more.

    Who brought the A&T and what time was it opened? More importantly, how did I miss a pour of that?!?!

    I forget who but it was opened fairly early....call it 9 to 930. About the same time both Marshal Z's were opened.
