It's quite an impressive line up of beer...but what is this 'Gravity Head'? Is it a festival of some sort? didn't see any explanation on blog, but i'm certainly intrigued.

It's called gravity head because all of the beers on tap are considered "high gravity" (ie: high alcohol) beers. It's a yearly high abv beer festival.

Some of the beers remain for a couple of weeks, but Friday is the day to imbibe if you want a selection.

I took a personal day last year and started at 8:00 AM. I made it until the evening. I think. I may have saw Strings there. Or dreamt I did. Clearly I could use a better pacing strategy.

This is the kind of attitude we need here. I'm game.

“I used to be a runner. Uh-huh. Not a marathoner. A runner. Marathons are bullshit. They’re all hype. Some official picks a random day, and rain or cold, you’re out there pounding the pavement alongside 50,000 other dumbfucks. No. There’s some things it’s better to do all by yourself.” Augustus Hill, Oz

You did, but you bowed out at 6-ish.
