First time at the Calgary beerfest and special thanks to Yelp for the two tickets. I had a enjoyable time with my friends. Wow this place was huge with a wide variety of vendors; well over 100. There's something for everyone even if your not a big beer geek.... there's a good selection of ciders, coolers and wines. There's also option to purchase and take home.
Price wise it's not the best place if you just want to get hammered. It's a bit expensive to sample about 4 oz of each drink and the atmosphere not really chill for enjoying a drink or two. This event is more like a trade show where you can learn about local breweries and how beer made. Overall it was a great event!
