    Good times, much bigger and better than last year. Tons of great stuff to try and I’m glad I was able to split some samples with a friend. I know some of us were questioning the ticket system combined with the small sample size, but this post contains a satisfactory explanation.

    Yeah, great event.

    Some of the pours, however, were quite stingy.
