Woo! Bent river! I've got about 4 growlers from them sitting in the closet waiting to be refilled.

Their oatmeal and uncommon stouts are heavenly. The raspberry wheat is good to.

You might check with your local microbrewery. Its not uncommon for microbreweries in surrounding states to organize bus trips.

figure 3-4 beers per booth and 3 ounces per sample. that comes in at about 3-5 cases of beer.

You can do it! Hmm... 1 3oz. sample times 102 = 306 ounces, divided by 12 equals 25.5 bottles of beer. Grab a buddy and one of you take A-M and the other take N-Z.

You forgot to figure in that each brewery booth will have mulitple beers (thats what i meant by 3-4 beers/booth) so its more like 75-100 bottles of beer worth.

Yeah I read that, but I wanted to see if there was a good way to make this mission to sample all the breweries feasible.

I hope they provide enough urinals for the event.

 

[vi edit]

Stone City makes a great brown ale called "Artist Colony Ale" that is delish. The wheat is very tastey but inconsistent in flavor.

The event is now sold out. I have my ticket though, and more importantly, a kitchen pass from the missus.
