Beer friends:

Don't forget to purchase FOBAB tickets today at 10 am Central if you want to attend. As a member of IMBIBE, I was able to get mine already. I will be attending the afternoon session (1-5 pm). I think this best, as some beers may sell out. And navigating home at 10 pm after all those beers might be difficult. I think I will get a room downtown that evening.

IMBIBE members get into the afternoon session an hour early, which makes it more pleasant by far. I imagine that if you join soon, you'll be able to do that. It's $35 a year:

About $51 with fees. Pay with Paypal. Last year it was one per person at a time and I was able to get 2 before it sold out. You can buy for a friend/spouse, but they check IDs so you cannot really hope to resell easily.

Got mine - sold out in 2 minutes!!! :eek:

Maybe even faster. I got an email saying 10000 people were trying for 2200 tickets.

My brother got 1 ticket into his shopping cart within 5-7 seconds of noon (they changed the time again) and when he tried to pay got an error message; that was that.

Did you get afternoon or evening? If the former, see you there.

total right now is 22 miller draft, 6 coors light, 8 coronas, and 30 miller light :):):):):)

Am loving the recent move to the US of A and all the beers. I'm probably drinking fairly 'standard' micro brews but at the moment am likeing pretty much anything by Deschutes and Mission St

Guinness in the 8 pack as always. unless I am n the USA then it is the costco 24 pack

Never heard of FindTheBest.com, they'll never have any credibility with me after this ranking.

+1

Some of those should not even rate as beers!

Same here. I saw the Yahoo article, looked at the beers, and was shocked that some of those were considered "best" beers.

I am wondering how someone who runs a site called findthebest.com could sell out this blatantly. CEO O'Connor should be embarrassed.

What a joke on that "Top 10." No way that is unbiased. It's closer to being a "Worst 10."

:D Which one does it for you? The Michelob ULTRA or the Michelob ULTRA Lime Cactus? Gah, I gag just thinking about that!

I got afternoon, so will definitely see you there.
