Just talked to Tanner (works at Benz). Guess they are really short staffed right now. I told him when it gets closer to the festival if they need some help with anything to reach out to us. They've always been good to us at Benz, be a good way to show we appreciate them.

So they are hiring? Asking for a friend.

He didn't say they are hiring, but they are down 2 employees. I'm sure Matt would be taking applications.

I updated the beer app with Benz Fest so go ahead and start entering beers if you know what you're bringing.

Is there a way to add Homebrew Club info to an existing account? I had registered on the app before I was a CRBS member and now I'm unable to add Homebrew Club info to my account.

I think that we need to give you your own tent and bar with this many beverages to choose from! :D

Divesh, I added CRBS to your user account on the app. If for some reason that's not what you wanted let me know.

I imagine this will depend upon the space we are allocated to pour (probably the end of the street again) and the number of kegs that we will have to cycle through our taps.

We will know more in a couple of weeks.
