Message Papsoe P beers 25041 º places 4 º 08:09 Thu 5/17/2012 Originally posted by LordValentin Originally posted by MagicDave6 Only fault i could see was a lack of places to rince glasses, but it was a probably a good thing that you had to buy water to do it as this probably kept alot of people from failing too early. I actually think you are right, the fact that (most) people had a bottle of water in the pocket - and no place to spit it out - might have been a good thing. Come on guys, don’t be fucking stupid. The ability to rinse your glass is a basic beery right - especially since the program emphasizes that you can only use the official glass, no hand bottles etc "out of respect for the brewers". Cool. Is sampling a Mikkeller Spontandoubleblueberry followed by a subtle pale Saison with no rinsing facilities in between "showing respect"? Of course it’s not. Everybody knows that, the organizers know that and I’m certain this will be changed if there’s gonna be a CBC vers. 2. Stop being so bloody defensive that you defend even the most obvious mistakes. We’re not bleeding idiots.

Message Sigmund P beers 12130 º places 427 º 09:34 Thu 5/17/2012 Originally posted by FrumptyDumpty There was only 2 or 3 people I saw during the fest that were in really bad shape. That is pretty awesome considering what I have seen at many many other fest. ... and even more awesome compared to what you will see in the streets of downtown Stavanger on an average Friday or Saturday night!

On Day 2 I’m not sure who’s job it was but it would get nasty and then I ordered Urbain to refresh them
