This was a fun little festival. We were visiting from California and decided to check it out. The food we tried was good and the beer fest had a lot of great beers. The reason for the lower rating is because I think it was a bit over priced. Paying for a bunch of tickets and then the samples all being several tickets maybe it so we couldn't try all the things we wanted to try. I think a pay one price option or making all samples one ticket option would have been more reasonable. We also had an issue with getting in to the beer fest. We bought entry at a ticket booth but wasn't accurate I guess and it took a lot of hassles to get the situation rectified. Overall was worth the visit. Wouldn't go back at the current rates though.
