That looks excellent and I will strongly consider it. Proximity to BART is a huge plus.

Was so impressed with Stone's Xocoveza, I decided to give their other beers a try. Good call gentlemen.

If Fundamental Observation is as good the Darkstar November it will be awesome.

Cud are you looking to bring any beers to trade? Not sure where you're from but I can bring some locals down with me if you wanna work something out.

I don't do much trading, most of beers get drunk. But I am willing to give it a go. I am in North Alabama. I have access to Straight to Ale, Yellowhammer, Blue Pants( look up their Adambier), Old black bear, Good People locally. Pm'd.

I'm very likely in for this. $40 for all you can drink just sounds too good. Hopefully they don't oversell and it becomes a clusterfuck.

That's usually the problem with beer festivals that have an "all you can drink" ticket. You usually get 4oz pours after standing in line for 20 minutes. You almost have to get your beer, and then go stand in another line while you drink it. I've never been to a beer festival that had an all you can drink option that wasn't ridiculously over-sold.

I've been to a couple. I've heard the the FSW Invitational is great and they don't oversell it. But that one is also $90.

I just bought a ticket.

Sweet. Wife and I are trying to figure out babysitting, but I am sure we will make it work.

As for huge crowds. I am sure it will be pretty crowded, but Concord isn't exactly a huge draw. So I am hoping it won't be overwhelmingly crowded.

I've never had a problem honestly. And I go to the $40 ones.

I've been drinking a lot of Elephant beer (Carlsberg). It's just a smooth beer with a high %. Heavy beers kill me lately.

A friend of mine got ahold of "Sip of Sunshine" IPA from Lawson't Finest Liquids. It's been quite a while since a beer totally blew me away like that. He also had a Heady Topper that we split, and it paled in comparison.

On a different note, I totally hate this new trend of adding citrus juice to IPAs. Getting citrus flavors from hops is awesome. Adding blood orange juice to beer is not.
