How fun!!! Thanks for the tickets, Yelp!!
There was so much we loved about this event, and so much that can be improved.
The pros were that some of our absolute favorite breweries were there and we were able to try things we've been interested in but didn't wanna commit to a sixer. The food was absolutely delicious and thank goodness for the hand washing stations outside of the port-a-potties.
The cons were that the port-a-potties were all on one side of the event, pulling you far far away from the festivities, the lines for food were more than an hour long and by the halfway point, most of the breweries were tapped out of some of the more exciting brews on the menu.
We found the Yelp tent at around 5:30, and were really looking forward to the delicious pretzel necklaces, but they were all gone, so we stocked up on pins and a bottle opener. The man (I forget his name) greeted me with a hug because I was one of the winners of free tickets - and that made me glad.
I'm interested to see what next year brings with the Beer Fest, for sure.
