Message The_Osprey beers 10591 º places 178 º 07:12 Tue 2/7/2017 Fingers crossed. Big queues would be the killer for me - you’d hope to be able to get your beer and relax rather than going from queue to queue. Also running out of beer. Plenty of time to get things right though

Plenty of time to get things right though You will likely always be able to pick up a beer and relax from my experience of the bigger all inclusive festivals ... just not necessarily with the beers you may want to try most though !!
Message Iznogud P beers 13187 º places 1282 º 07:33 Tue 2/7/2017 I believe Borefts was limited to total of 7000 tickets, 3500 per day. Not sure how many taps were on simultaneously, maybe 100-120? At times the stands were quite crowded especially Omnipollo and de Molen, Cascade had its share of lines, from time to time Lervig. But Borefts is a bit different concept, lasting longer (10 hours) and just 19 breweries/stands.

Message 77ships P beers 14200 º places 917 º 16:27 Thu 2/23/2017 Got fri + sat tickets, since seemingly every beer bro I know is going. Lines at Borefts 2016 Saturday were irritating to say the least. Will see how this one will play out. The hype is real.
Message rhoihessegold beers 6641 º places 417 º 04:52 Wed 3/8/2017 Saturday is sold out! 4000 tickets per day! Lets hope for the best, organisationwise!
Message BRW beers 3178 º places 117 º 10:55 Wed 3/8/2017 Luckily I bought my tickets yesterday. See you all there.
Message BeardedAvenger P beers 7319 º places 596 º 12:50 Wed 3/8/2017 They are now advertising for volunteers. You work one day, get in for free the other. Also a party and a volunteer only beer.

Message alovelydrop beers 70 º places 97 º 08:21 Tue 4/4/2017 I’ve been offered a volunteer job, pretty excited. Couldn’t bring myself to pay £50 for it and looking forward to being there both days, even if I have to work the one!
Message tdtm82 beers 1704 º places 138 º 06:04 Sat 4/8/2017 Printworks is a massive venue and I expect the set-up to be run similarly to Indy Man. Their birthday a while back was way before they had understanding of festivals and they really just did not think that many people will turn up. It’s difficult to anticipate a festival and hard to find the right location. Printworks is a big location. I’m hoping to clear up most on Friday but I bet that some beers will be around after it. My birthday present this.
Message McNeillR beers 2372 º places 16 º 04:04 Tue 4/11/2017 Has there been any whispers about how this is going to pan out? Or anyone asked them direclty? i.e Friday will be the same as Saturday? Or kegs will rotate differently like De Molen? Or different beers different days? Travelling down for more than the Saturday bucks up the cost a fair bit, but not doing CBC/De Molen this year (TDG tho) balances the expsense out a wee bit via cheap trains/hostel.
