Besides the BBQ, the last day Friday will be sequencing at Jester King. Rick Metz and I went there last week and took samples from around the brewery. The folks at Jester King are amazing and we need to be greatful for their generous hospitality. They will be opening up the brewery early on Friday so that we can sequence on site
