8.\u00a0A FoBAB 2017 Beer Preview: Who\u2019s Bringing What?<\/a><\/h4>\n

Who’s bringing what to this year’s FoBAB? We reached out to a few of our favorite brewers to find out, and go figure — some of them actually told us.<\/p>\n

7.\u00a0Beyond Dark Lord Day: What To Do Outside the Annual Festival<\/a><\/h4>\n

6.\u00a0The Beer Temple Taproom: Chris Quinn Delivers Details on His Long-Awaited Bar<\/a><\/h4>\n

5.\u00a0Why is FOBAB More Expensive This Year?<\/a><\/h4>\n

4.\u00a0Goose Island Quietly Removed These Two Words From Their 2017 Bourbon County Stout Labels<\/a><\/h4>\n
