That information is begging to be laid out in a proper spreadsheet to allow for comparisons between breweries, categories, etc. Still, it’s great that the Full Pint guys are taking the initiative to gather this info at all. One of the baffling things about GABF is that with all of the requisite advanced planning, and after all these years and all of these logistical and technological advances, it’s STILL damn near impossible to get a GABF floor beerlist before the event (and completely unheard of to get a list of competition entrants and categories). This is way better than any other year I can remember.

Indeed. As Chris well knows, I wholeheartedly concur and remain puzzled as to why this STILL is not readily available. How difficult would it be, really? At the recent Brewers Association outings, I have been clamoring for this and am keeping my fingers crossed that a comprehensive spreadsheet will come to fruition. I hope to know something soon, but who knows.



On a similar topic: Apparently, a "few years ago," according to some industry folk, there was a booth where one could inquire about specific styles. A list would then be printed out with whatever styles you were seeking. Does anyone remember this??? I sure as heck do not. Indeed.
