I had an enjoyable and interesting time at this beer tasting festival; I wasn't sure what to expect so it was fun to walk in cluelessly with an open belly. Staff were appropriate, though vendors who provided their own staff did much better with answering questions about beer. The more elaborate booths caught my attention. Peoplewatching was extremely entertaining.
As mentioned, bathroom lines were long, even with the makeshift additional porta potty situation out back and the line to get in was made to feel long due to the windburncold day. On another day, we would have been truly enjoying the outdoor line.
My faves among an otherwise extremely IPA and porter heavy day were a couple of dunkels, a gose, and a surprisingly true to title semi dry cider. I walked away with a list of 6 beers I must work into my routine and was happy with this.
