Are we dropping kegs off at Benz Friday night? Or just bringing them Saturday morning?

I usually do - less shake up the next morning and they are nice and cold, too. Will likely do a "drive by" and drop them off mid-afternoon Friday on my way over to the Beer Olympics at LBB.

I plan on dropping off my two kegs and some bottles on Friday. Will there be a numbered list and tags like last years homebrew fest or do we just have to make sure they are labeled well. I probably won’t make it to the fest until the last hour or two. I am working nights and I am attending my kids music concert in the morning. It depends on how much sleep I want to get.

Make sure labeled with your name and beer name. No number system.

Weather held up, so it turned out to be a good day. Lots of tasty beers all around. CRBS rocked the crowd as usual!
