   So, they’re actually going to have enough beer to pour $4 pints for 8 hours? Really?

   Oh my gosh $10 to get in. I’m sure that’s all profit, straight to the Gnome’s pockets (those little guys have deep pockets, don’t be fooled). There’s no overhead costs for this thing I’m sure. It all just magically happens in Happy Gnome Land.

   Hey Alec Baldwin make sure Stephen gets some because he’s the weakest!

   Actually, I agree with you. I just wanted to make an American Boy reference.

   These things aren’t cheap to put together – I’m not really sure what all of the ‘Gnome’s costs are, though I know that renting a large tent through Aarcee is fairly expensive not to mention tables, beer, advertising, glassware, licenses & permits, security, staff, etc., etc. I’m not saying they’re losing money doing this, but I don’t think $10 is so bad. ABR is what, $40? $40 at Firkin Fest gets you in and buys you 30 samples of cask-conditioned beer. I don’t know… I don’t think it’s so bad.

   Curse you Ryan with your logic and math skills! And before anyone jumps in to correct you, ABR is $30, but that would still get you in to Firkin Fest and allow you to buy 20 samples (which is *still* a lot of beer-that’s 80 ounces, 6 ounces more than a six pack!)

   Make that 8 ounces more…

    It’s a great time with great beer. At a $1 a 4 oz pour it works out to $4 a pint. Where can you get a $4 pint?

    If it’s about all-you-can-drink and getting pig-fucking drunk, why don’t you cheap bastards switch to some shitty iced malt liquor.

    Beerfan – I hear you… Not a single bitter in the list… bummer. Of course I’d rather just have it by the pint, but still…

    The Baldwing brothers always were a gaggle of pansy wankers.

    this sucked almost as much as last year. the only goo part was the lack of shitty music. other than that, the darkness tasted like corn syrup with hops, and all the other over hyped beers tasted mediocre at best. shaken firkins full of haze and a crowd of drunken nobodys

    Hopslam kicked first, followed soon after by Darkness. Everything else was still going at 6 when I left.

    “And, seriously, how many double IPAs and RISes do you need?” The answer to this question is, of course, more. Many more.
