HOLY SHIT! That is a huge list. Lokks like you have everything covered. There is not enough alcohol in beer per ounce so its not worth the weight. I would go with good old Blackberry Brandy.

 Just wieghed in and without distributing the weight between 2 other guys, its an easy 67 lbs. Once we meet up in Redding, we should be able to distribute the weight of all our gear into about a 50 lb pack each. Man I cannot wait!!!

If you have something you can roll some duct tape around, do that and save yourself some weight. Like a water bottle or something. You won't need an entire roll of tape, but it is very nice to have to fix seams on tents or best of all... blister remedies!

No worries on the release. Hopefully you won't need it, but it definitely is a must.
