I think this is my 4th year attending...and while I'll be back, I don't think I ever realized just how pricey it is when you add it all up. I purchased tickets in advance online to save $2/ticket...but here's a breakdown of the rest:
$18 for tickets
$18 for drink tickets (ended up doing 2 16oz beers and 6 samples)
$30 for two sampler platters
$10 for two halves of a cheese and apple strudel for my husband
$3 for cinnamon sticks for me
$10 for two beer slushies (in hindsight we would have not bought drink tickets or gotten food and just had like 5 of these. DELICIOUS.)
TOTAL: $89...a pretty pricey night for not so great food.
The breweries were good and all in all we had a good time but just be prepared to shell out the cash.
