Not on tap, from bottles. I had it a few hours ago. Solid Double IPA. Solid crisp caramelized malt backbone and solid fruity-resinous hopping. Like I say in the rating that I typed on my notebook and will upload three months from now (...no comment...) this is a very American-Worthy Double IPA.

Just to be more precise. Tasting coupons are $1 each but most samples cost 3 tasting coupons. Some even more. I paid 5 coupons for my sample of Baladin Terre Riserva Teo Musso 2010. Samples are decent size, officially 4oz but more often than not you get 5oz to 6oz. Just enough to properly sample a beer, or share with 12 Danes.

Anyone going Sunday? I dont arrive until noon but plan to spend the day at Mondial and all day Monday bar and brewery hopping. Its nice to be able to get work to pay for a good beer trip.

Thanks for the info. Is there a beer list or exhibitor list online? I didn’t see anything on the website.

Well, an exhibition hall. The other reason why the festival is there, it’s because they want as close as possible to the downtown area, outside of downtown may not work well.
