Pretty disappointed with the VIP tickets at this event. GA tickets were around $30 and VIP were $100. One of the main benefits of VIP was the free food. The tent ran out of food hours before the event ended and most people representing the San Tan VIP tent had a "well too bad, ya snooze ya lose" attitude. Running out of food is one thing, but the way they handled it really got to me.
And not sure what happened to Melvin Brewing. They won best in show, #1 IPA, and #1 Pale Ale ... Then decided not to show? Maybe they made an appearance toward the end? Bummed I didn't get to try any.
Overall the event was pretty good. Good music, good venue, and good beer. Just don't waste your money on VIP if this event happens again.
