We will hand out tickets as guests enter so we can count the demand for Russian River Flight. 1st come first serve basis. We will have over 350 Russian River Flights available, which is pretty decent volume. After 1:00 all guests can buy another flight if amount of tickets left allow. We have a sick line up of beers, which I will update and announce on FB as we approach Feb. 25th. Look forward to seeing you all here. Cheers
