DO Information
Friday 24 April
Drie Fonteininen: I heard back from them, confirming that they will do buses to NoGT again this year. This is posted on their Facebook page:
“Twist of Fate” (“Speling van het Lot”) is a series of small batch experimental brews, barrel maturations, fruit macerations and/or blends. It allows us to enter the lambic playground in our own way. In 2020, we will host Twisting the fate on Friday 24 and Saturday 25 of April from 1000, They will also be running buses to NoGT. Tickets (€5) are on sale now.
Night of the Great Thirst, Itterbeek 7pm-midnight. Flyertalkers will arrive at the beginning of the festival to hold a table for the group. This is an outdoor event, please dress appropriately. Also note that beer is generally sold by the 750 ml bottle and sharing is encouraged. Food is available for purchase. Cash is required, so hit an ATM in advance. Note that busses from Itterbeek to Brussels are hourly; plan your trip at https://www.delijn.be/en/.
Saturday 25 April
Zythos Bierfestival 1PM - 11 PM. Unlike past years, you apparently need a ticket to get in the door. This year pre-sales are allowed in at noon, one hour before walk-ins. So buy your tokens ahead of time.
Buy tokens in advance: https://www.zbf.be/en/advance-sales/ . Tickets are available for sale now. Experience indicates that 20 tokens is too many for one day; starting with 10 and buying more, if needed, is a good strategy.
Beers lists are here: ZBF 2020 - Exposanten en Bieren
Food is available for sale; you may also bring your own food.
For anyone who wants to travel in a group, I suggest IC 509 departing Central/Centraal at 11 am. This train arrives Leuven at 11:24. For those who have not been before: exit the Leuven train station and bear right to get to the bus depot. The free shuttle to the hall is clearly marked and usually on the 3rd or so platform.
Flyertalkers will grab seats at a table toward the back on the right side of the main hall (in which all of the beer booths are located) as you walk in.[/font]

Moderators,
Every time I have tried to edit the wiki on this thread in the last couple of days I end up with HTML instead of text. I created the wiki and have successfully edited it several times. I went to another thread today and tried to edit their wiki and that worked as it should, Can you take a look and see if you can fix it?
Thanks.

I remember what this is. When you change text size/color of text, it stops appearing in the editor unless you go to "Source". I'm cleaning it up now.

I'm currently going through the Wikipost. It looks like there were just way too much formatting put into it. My initial guess is a difference in people using Full CKEditor and people using basic editor, but I don't know for sure.

All,
As you probably already have seen, some states are mandating 14 day isolation for ANYONE returning from overseas. If this is implemented in Illinois, Pennsylvania or Maryland, I will be cancelling my trip to ZBF/NoGT.
Safe travels, my friends.

Slightly OT, but it's just plain silly, as in most places the risks are same or less than going anywhere on your home area.
Work's not taking too kindly to anyone travelling right now and I'd like to still have a job
