This is my 5th year and my husbands 6th year in a row. We are concerned for brewfest as the vendors are dwendeling. Not as much beer as the years before. Also we enjoy having a suvineer tasting glass with the year on it. Unfortunately the last few years they were plastic with no year. We always have fun but are considering finding a new brewfest for next year.
This event will continue to grow, however, the crowd was well managed, there seemed to be enough restrooms, and great Brewery representation. Food trucks provided a good selection. Most importantly staff and volunteers seemed well informed and enjoying themselves.
This has become an annual pilgrimmage for my wife and I. Well run, good diversity of beers, lotds of Georgia bvrewers and some from around the world. I did miss the Mead Garden this year but discovered Not your Mommas tea and apple pie!
Definitely a plus the event was held indoors as it was very hot that day. There was plenty of space to walk around while stopping at the variety of tasting tents. Overall, an enjoyable brew fest.
Great event, but the plastic glasses this year was a bad idea. Felt cheap, cheapened the event.
Needed more places to sit and have more tables to set drinks on.
As always, the Craft Brew Fest was amazing in spite of the hurricane Hermine, we had a great time. we shared the experience with two other couples who heard I talk about it so often. This was their first time attending and the comments were positive.
Event was much smaller this year,indoors,but that did not stop myself and my party from enjoying ourselves. Glad to see nine line apparel and hop nuts there. One member of our party was escorted out of the building with no explanation as to why,which meant we all had to leave with our DD. I'm sure the storm caused many venders to change attendance plans and if the member of our party was being appropriate an explanation would have been great. I have attended every Savannah beer fest since the event began. Honestly, with the smaller venue and unexpected ejection this year, it will take a lot of convincing to spend money on this event again
Once again we went to Craft Brew Fest in Savannah. This is an annual event for us, but I enjoyed this year's so much better. Everything was indoors because of the impending storm during setup. There seemed to be sufficient space for all of the breweries. However, the crowds didn't seem nearly as large as they have been in the past. It was much more pleasant. No heat and bugs to deal with. Even the people seemed more pleasant because they weren't dealing with the sweltering temperatures we usually endure. Having all of the activities indoors also meant we could find them all and we participated in the silent disco this year, which I had never even seen in the past. Watched, did not sing, at the Karaoke tent. And of course sampled all of the brews! Would love to see it indoors every year.
Unfortunately, the year the event was preceded the day before by hurricane Hermine. I hope that is why there were very few breweries and vendors present for the event. Previous years were far better. If next year's event doesn't improve, I won't be back the following year.
There are some very good microbreweries that show up for this event an this is my second year in attendance. There are a couple issues: 1. Some brewers were running out of beer with still about two hours left of event. 2. Tickets are $50 with ticket master fees, which seems high when you consider you are getting a max 2 ounces of beer to taste at each station and a lot of brewers are outside is the stifling heat/pouring rain. I think they should reconsider their ticket pricing for next year and possibly include one other free gift aside from the tasting cup? Josh
It is well done, a fun way to sample different beers, including seasonal beers.
I have been to these in other locations. The staff at "the gate" misinformed or not knowledgeable at all. There was a lot of confusion and to top that off, the Priority was getting in with VIP. The vendors had people pouring beer that admitted to not being knowledgeable about the beer that they were representing.
Great venue, layout and location with over 60 breweries to choose from. A very good event!
Overall the event was great, there was a huge selection of different kinds of beers from lites to dark and even cider beers. However, I do wish they had better selection of food. I was at the event for about 4 hours and by the time I was hungry a lot of the food was either gone or the selection was to a bare minimum and very pricey for the amount that was given.I attended this event with about 9 other people and after talking to them they all agreed with a great selection of beer but food choices and prices were not.
My wife and I have been to the Savannah Beer Festival the last 3 years, and this year's event was another success. We regularly attend 3-4 beer festivals a year and the Savannah one is always our favorite. There are many different vendors there, some inside and some outside. The venue is on the river front which is really nice setting. You get to enjoy the outdoors, a beautiful location and beer at the same time. They also had live music outside. We were able to try some new local beers as well as other more national beers. Overall, we will attend this event again.
Lot of choices plenty of beer fair price for a taste of many states without traveling
Sadly, has become a bloated and overpriced Beerfest.. I noticed a much smaller crowd this year. PLEASE GO BACK TO YOUR BASIC ROOTS AS TO WHAT THIS WAS ALL ABOUT.
Good time. Good beer. Fun crowd to taste beer with. All around recommend this event.
Was given a cracked shot glass and went back to get one not cracked and was told they did not have any therefore did not have a shot glass to do any tasting. Tickets too expensive to just walk around and not taste
