    Yay! I THINK I’ll be in town for this one unless I can swing a free spot on the KQ/Hoigaard’s ski trip…

    I guess I’m going to have to tell my brother to get married on a different day. That’s what the best man is for.

    Atta boy Dan. Or you could bring the bride and groom over for a few drinks before, after, or during the event. The parts I remember from last year were fun. I was told I had fun during the parts I don’t remember too.

    What were the beer prices last year?

    This year it’s a $5 entry, $1 tickets, 1 ticket a pour. Sounds great!

    I’d like to say that it’s merely a coincidence that the 21a will be my sober cab on Saturday, but I wish that it wasn’t dumb luck.

    Just spoke with Happy Gnome. They said that they have a printed sheet of participating brewers available. Seems brewers are sending in info up until the last minute. I’ll be picking one up on the way home. The list of brewers on the Happy Gnome’s splash page is just a few of who will be there. WOOO HOOOOO!

    Are all of the brews local/regional, or will there be any from the UK? If so, any idea which?

    Chris, all of the one’s I’ve seen thus far have been domestic brews. However, one never knows until one is under the tent!
