Message levifunk beers 12 º 08:58 Thu 7/11/2013 Originally posted by t0rin0 Do these events get thrown together last minute or what? I found a list of events from 2011 and started visiting websites for every place offered. Not one of them (so far) mentions anything in their events pages. Host locations don’t rarely promote or advertise the parties on their websites. Sometime on FB. Its mostly the Breweries who promote it.

And often times you don’t get the information until the two blogs and the MHTG details them a week or so before. Taplists for anything are a rarity and usually a last minute thing.

They’re looking at 10-12 taps, including another 1/6 of Mornin’ Delight.

Message TheAlum beers 7164 º places 10 º 10:29 Thu 7/11/2013 Yeah, we went for lunch last year. There were no special things last year.. aside from some bottles of Assassin they poured out later on. The thing is, if they wait to tap Mornin’ Delight (and from what I understand.. they have very little left.. I’d be more expecting to see it at the Fest and not Dexters).. it’ll be late.. but you’ll also be away from the downtown area. I’m thinking lunch again, myself. Was real chill.
