Yeah, DDs are free and I think they get free water or something.

This festival is a good time, just the booth decorations are a blast.

Glad Powerplant and 29th are coming, they had some good stuff last year.

I’ll be volunteering for probably the whole day, its just as fun as coming, but you get to interact with the brewers and the crowd at the same time!

Hopefully Boulevard brings the BBQ and the SB, I’m interested in the bret

They don’t make the DDs pay 25 bucks, do they?

Hey Kelly, this is not a fest that is usually in danger of selling out. It’s not crazy like the Brewers Heritage. It’s a very cool, laid-back beer festival–one of my 2 favorite local beer fests.

Unfortunately, I will not be able to attend this year. You all have fun without me!

Does anyone know if there are only so many tickets available? Could it sell out?

Yep, they give you a sampling glass and you walk around tasting beer.

is this similar to the other locals? Tasting glass is provided and ??? drinks/samples are allowed? It sounds like a good time. I think I’ll round up the troops and head down.
