I was very underwhelmed by last year's event. Mainly a bunch of super-common craft (and "craft") beer that we've all had a bunch of times.

I went last year as well. If you haven't gotten your ticket yet, don't get the VIP. It was literally 2 or 3 'rare' beers, and a few others, like Surly Hell, lol.

Yeah, I made it my mission to try to drink my VIP price worth of Bourbon Cty.

I was there last year on a VIP ticket. As commented, don't think it was worth it. Probably won't go this year.

Not sure if this is true or not, but I do believe this is a for profit beer festival with no proceeds going to charity. Not saying bad or good, just informing potential patrons. I have not attended in the past. I have yet to have someone say it was really awesome. I have not been because I can only attend so many beer festivals in a given year and there are simply better ones to burn my get out of jail free card on.

This seems to be the cheesy "safe" beer fest, with a lot of beers that are barely craft, and not typically worth clamoring for
