San Diego International Beer Festival Tickets

We were disappointed with this years SDIBF. The amount of vendors was minimal, no draft only cans and they closed the event an hour early.

Too many IPAs and lagers. Too few porters and stouts. Vendors should be required to bring a variety: Pilsner/lager, IPA, red, porter/stout.

It was a fun time. I would probably come again. Wish there was more activities and less IPAs

There was no draft beer!! Sadly all cans. There was only 50% of the beer tastings than before. Don’t get me wrong I definitely had enough beer but the past years were so so much better and more fun.

First time attending and im definitely going back next year!!!

I've been to this event several times, this one was by far the most disappointing. There were only a fraction of the vendors that are usually there. Very few breweries from outside southern California, and everything was poured from a can or bottle rather than on tap.

It was awesome I just feel it was missing some beers like Sea Dog and others but overall tons of fun.

My son treated us to VIP tickets for slightly early Father's Day. It was the perfect gift! The food offerings were top shelf and plentiful. The beer selections were widely varied and I found several that I liked. I was surprised to see cans and bottles rather than kegs, but it makes sense. What do you do with a half empty keg at the end of the day? My wife is not a beer drinker, so she noshed a bit and then headed over to the art exhibits. It was a lovely day with my son.

Definitely will repeat this once again with the family

Love the covered aspect of the fest. No sunburns or need for sunscreen. Nice selection of beers and breweries but seemed to be quite a few less than in previous years. I went to the Saturday early session and it wasn’t very crowded. Easy to move around and lines for the beers were pretty short. This year they waited till noon and then let people come in to get wristbands and a glass , previous years they took care of that a few minutes early so people could get out to the beers exactly at noon. I was a bit back in the line and it took about 15 to 20 minutes for me to actually get in and get my first beers. Overall a good festival.
