    I'll ask this question as a previous attendee, do you want to see as many taps flowing or less taps with better effort...I'm drawing attention to the lambeaks and a few taps that were less than desirable...

    Citra, Falcon IPA's were excellent as of course bbpt5 and monster but I'd like to see some more focus from the group and less variety...

    Either way, Lamb with fried rattlesnake...freakin crazy!

    Definitely going to be there this year. Great time, and awesome bottle share in line last year. I've been putting a few things aside all year in anticipation for this year. Hopefully the beer garden won't be a soupy watery mess this year, and I won't have my foot in a walking boot.

    Is this a ticketed event?

    Yes and No you line up to get tokens that then determine your spot in line. With your number you can figure out what will be left at your spot and then can stay or not

    It hasn't been ticketed in the past, instead they hand out tokens with your number in line. I have heard some rumors of them changing this year and going to tickets, but nothing official yet.

    I totally disagree and definitely want it to be ticketed.

    I would figure a lot of people would, but I would rather do the physical work to get my tix rather than rely on the possibility of a site crash. NO THANKS! It's more definite for me to get a ticket if I just go there. Especially since I took Friday night off of work...
    Good luck all!

    If its ticketed how would you sell the limited stuff? First come, first served tokens seem to work best considering the various bottle counts of the 10 or so available beers & vintages. It would be funny if they switch to tickets and the smaller batch stuff is a scratch off. Congratulations, you won the right to buy Lambeek & other sour accidents.....ummm thanks but no thanks.

    Meh. Tix would be ok I guess. But then what would I do at 3am instead?! I'd rather just put in the effort of freezing my ass off with the FIB's and wait in line. Plus most of them like to share. Got to try Upland Blackberry, WC, and Cherry Rye because I was there early. Either way it's a great party and bottle release. Looking forward to it.

    Those of us who waited in line from 9am only to get number 322 around noon. Then wait in another line until about 8pm only to find there is no bbpt5 left....would really prefer tickets...

    I guess I should have known when the guy handing out tokens said something like "hold on we had to go to the store to buy more tokens" that I was probably SOL.

    Tickets please!
