Yeah, sorry about that Walt. All breweries are aware of the event however, just need to lock in the time frames.

I’ve already composed a letter to them with the time frame, just haven’t sent it yet.
We don’t have 2 local brewpubs on there, should we? No NXNW, Lovejoy’s or Draughthouse...

I really feel like Draughthouse should be included... It’s significantly different enough from the other stops and usually has a large amount of Texas beer on tap.

I wanted to include Draughthouse, but it is my understanding that they don’t do sampler trays for their beers. I had considered NXNW, but didn’t feel that it worked into the schedule that great. Uncle Billy’s and Black Star are both local brewpubs and can’t forget flix!!!
