Iowa City BrewFest - 2009
This fest in the past has left me disappointed. I’m wondering what 40 bucks get you, Michelobe Cactus? 35 bucks you can be having 400 instead of 20 premium beers without the hassle of the chuckie cheese tickets up in Madison next month.
On the bright side its in IC which is close enough to drive back, but far enough to get pulled over.

I would be curious to see what the 20 beers in the Brewmaster's Special are. I have had about everything John's has to offer.
I agree with Travis, a lot more to be had in Madison. I just got back from the Empire Music and Brews Festival in Syracuse, NY. Price was $35 and inlcuded 8 bands on two stages, unlimited drinks, and lots of east coast breweries I had limited exposure to in the past as well as west coast ones I love. I am much more familiar with the east coast now.
Maybe it is the Crystal glass or huge pours of some great stuff. If any one goes, let us know the details.
