Yes please. Should be just enough time to get to FR after the afternoon session just as that Consecration is going on.

Yes, that’s true. In fact, it’s probably going to suck. Everyone should go to other bars instead. I bet it’ll be tons better at Wynkoop. I heard Jesus himself will be there turning water in to Cable Car.

I wouldn’t be surprised if Consecration was available at the festival as well.

Yeah, I figure there’s a good chance of that.
This got me thinking about something that Catherine and I were talking about the other night as we were looking at the list of breweries and planning our trip. Why doesn’t the Brewer’s Association put out a list of the beers that each brewer will have? It would make planning quite a bit easier. I’d even be willing to pay extra in order to have that information early.

like any festival I’m sure there’s a lot of last minute changes, but with close to 2000 beers I’d say they’d rather not deal with updating such a massive list.

Sure there might be some changes, but probably a small percentage since there’s also a deadline to get your beer to the festival (about a week prior). Besides, don’t they give you a program at the festival that lists all the beers? I’m just saying I’d like to be able to get the program early. I guess it’s not possible to print the programs after all the beer arrives and then mail them out, so maybe they could put the info online.
