Having said that I realize it is a festival with the goal of making money and overall the prices are reasonable comparatively. The only true complaint I have is the beer selection...I know its a large scale festival so you need bud, miller, etc., but considering the booming Charlotte beer scene for \"taste of Charlotte\" to not even have a sniff of the local beer scene, its disappointing and revealing of the true money motives of the festival. I mean seriously eff'ing cold stone creamery has a tent but I can't get a No Da, Triple C, or OMB draft choice?!?!?"^^ . "3"^^ . "1"^^ . "0"^^ . . "1"^^ .
