Fun times, good food and events, reasonably priced, but over-crowded and no organized lines. Kind of had to fight to get the small beer samples. It'd be better next time in a different location and if less tickets were sold.

The Beer Festival was great! There were tons of options for tasting whether you like beer or not. The band was awesome as well. Will definitely be looking at returning next year. Only complaints were that there was not a lot of seating and the lines for the bathrooms got long.

Great event to discover new beers. There was not enough portable bathrooms for the amount of people and beer. Hopefully, next year the lines will be shorter or non existent for the bathroom.

It was an Ok event. The location was smaller then in previous years and it was crowded with young frat boys and dingy girls. The beer was ok, not exceptional. There were a few new outstanding beers, like Millbrook Brewing, but again just a few. None of the local micro-brewerys were there, which tells you something. At the festival, the promoters considered Pabst, Bud, and Shock Top a "micro-brew" status. All in all, I wouldn't waste your money on this event if you are looking for good quality brews to taste test.
