Was not as good as fall beer fest... would never go again!!
Lots of great beer and a fun time. Next time I'm bringing a pretzel necklace!
We had a great time at the Beer Fest- band was great- beers were cold and tons of new ones to try. WIsh I had brought a Pretzel necklace to munch on in between beers (nice way to cleanse the tart beers away)- next time! Everyone was in great spirits and respectful of each other- great time!!! Pizza is served- yummy! Wish we cam on time to enjoy even more time there!
Other beer festivals give you a souvenir glass and seating in the middle so that you can relax and socialize. This was set up in narrow rows like a trade show and quite sterile. Plastic dental cup. Kind of a stand up industrial drinking atmosphere. Even had a booth selling rain gutter covers. Not inviting at all. The beer itself was good. They did have some live music which was OK and free/donation pizza which was OK .
The beer was great. Lines were not bad but only food was pizza an not enough. So I recommend more food in future.
While this was a fun night out, I was expecting to sample more international beers (as the name implies). not the constant re-iteration of hard ciders that were there. There were several good Belgian beers that I have had before, from a local distributor. But that was it. The pizza wasn't great and they ran out of it before the night was even half over. So while I said I would recommend this to a friend I would be pretty judicious about whom I recommended this too. I guess I expected more for the price.
Excellent! Steve Smith and the Nakeds are a great party cover band! There wasn't as many vendors as we were lead to believe, but the ones who were there were great! Our only complaint, not enough food! A slice of pizza just wasn't helping with all the beer drinking. More food! Thanks!
Lots of friendly, knowledgeable vendors. Great band playing all afternoon! Could have used a few food vendors, though. The self-made pretzel necklaces were a great idea that could have sold hundreds and kept you from being gouged at the concession stand. The free pizza was a delight, but would have been willing to pay for something as well.
