Does anyone know the dates for the GABF in 2011?

I turn 30 in 2011 and have never made it out to the GABF before and have been wanting to go so bad every year!! I have decided that for my 30th birthday that I would finally go and make a big trip out of it with family and friends!! I wondered if anyone knew the dates for 2011 that way I can start planning over a year in advance. Any help is appreciated. Thanks in advance, Noah.

What to expect at the festival?

this will be my first time attending the festival and i am quit excited, I was wondering if i could get filled in with what to expect at the festival. I had a few questions as well

1 what does your ticket get you?

2 do you have to pay (for beer, or other things) once you at the festival.?

3 is there a limit on how much beer one can have ?

thanks

Three Hour Tour

I tried a beer this year called "Three Hour Tour", it was a dark (I think stout or porter) with strong carmel and coconut flavor.  I've searched around on google to find out who brewed it, but can't find it for anything.  Can anyone else recall who brewed this?  I'd love to get my hands on some of it.

Regards,

Jake

Three Hour Tour

I think that was Minneapolis Town Hall Brewery.

But then again I might be way off.

two tickets

souvenirs

do you know if there will be souvenirs for sale there? we are going today, for the first time (looking forward to it!) and would like to buy gifts for our relatives back home.

I was wondering because normally (in England) I will get a beer mug to bring home.  Something like that would make a great gift.

never mind, I've just found the Merchandise page!

Falling Rock Tap House

David, I'd be happy to help you figure out how to make a good beer recipe; but leave my parents out it.

Joking aside, If I were a business owner, I'd be disappointed to find out that the people who enjoy my service also wanted to hide it from others.
