    This looks like an amazing event, have you been to it yourself?

      Yes. I went this year. It was fun. Lots of great beer available that I wouldn't be able to get unless I visited each individual brewery.

        I LOVE craft beer, and always go to these types of events when held locally. What would you say is your favorite type of beer? I myself am heavily into wheat beer during the hot days and into the darker stuff when its a bit cooler. I also enjoy a lot of the European beer, but the good ones are hard to come by.

          IPA, all the way. That's my favorite style of the moment.

          Starting to do some homebrew now, so that'll be interesting to try out.

        I went to something like this called Beerhumbug a few years ago during the holidays. They gave me a little cup and I walked around trying everything. Got pretty wasted and had a great time.

          That's essentially the point of the event, they want you to try them all and choose your favorite so you can buy it later at jacked up prices! haha

            It worked for me. On my way home, I bought a couple of six packs of some of the stuff I tried. A couple of them, I probably wouldn't have ever bought otherwise.

              I've done that on many occasions! I actually appreciate them doing these festivals, as it saves me money trying shitty beer and then having to drink the rest just because I spent money on it. I've bought some beers that were so bad, i just brought them to a get-together and left them there as "just in case we run out" beer. Dick move? Hell no, its free beer, it doesn't have to be tasty, most people drink piss beer and don't seem bothered by it.
