    Do breweries come to states that they don't distribute to? If so, I'd like to see Bell's!

    Yes, it is not too much of a burben for out of area breweries without distribution to come to the fest.

    I'll send Bell's an invite, not sure what will come of it but they are invited now.

    Has anyone actually had a Blue Lobster beer yet? It would be nice if someone would actually write a review rather than just rating it.

    Hill Farmstead please! Alchemist too. I know Shorts has been there in the past, is Michigan too far to come from?

    I'm the 30th reply and nobody has mentioned Three Floyd's? Do they just not come to festivals or something?

    They don't reply to emails ... or at least mine. ;-)

    I am sure they get flooded with emails / too busy to handle doing fests that are out of market.

    Lawson has been before and always gets an invite ... I know Hill Farmstead won't have enough for the fest though they did BBF.

    Quick FYI ... more invites sent out to most of the breweries suggested above.

    80 confirmed brewers now ... 45 more spots until I can figure out more space in the hall. Hope to have room for 135 brewers.
