We can’t believe that it is already that time of year again. What happened? Hardliver is here! Its March 15th and 16th. We used to joke that the way to prepare for this event is to drink an entire 22oz of barleywine each day leading up to the festival. We have been working diligently to get the Hardliver Draftlist complete, and it is just about there. We will put this disclaimer out to all of you, the list that follows is subject to change, most of what you see posted here will be on draft, however I’ll say it again: This list is subject to change. You all know how it all goes, sometimes things happen and beers don’t make it on time, or get lost in translation, or a warehouse. Please don’t get upset if one beer happens not to be here but is listed, we are not intentionally misleading you.
Contrary to previous years there will not be a closed door judging this year. We have decided to let the winner be decided by popular vote. Without further ramblings here you go, feast your eyes on the list:
