Has anyone ever been to a "Beer Fest?" Where they sample a ton of beers. - JaxSean May 12, 06:44 21
- The Toronto Beerfest while its getting a little expensive is still an amazing event.... - Walt_Disney May 12, 07:27
- [deleted]
- Is it the type of fest where you can purchase tix to try a certain number of beers? If so, purchase a low number to sample. - HdnAgnda May 12, 07:05 7
  - No, see below. "All you can eat and drink." -- nm - JaxSean May 12, 07:06 6
    - Go. Have fun. Eat well before and during and know when to say when. You can do it! -- nm - HdnAgnda May 12, 07:18 1
      - This is what I *want* to think I can do. -- nm - JaxSean May 12, 07:37
    - go... get smashed... have wife pick you up as you run down the street nekkid... -- nm - decline May 12, 07:07 3
      - change "pick you up" to "run you over" and that would be more correct. - JaxSean May 12, 07:18 2

- D -- nm - znufrii May 12, 06:47
- They can be a recipe for disaster, for sure. The tasting glass is small (2-3 oz) but a lot of the beers will be higher alcohol. - TFox May 12, 06:47 5
  - I'm good. -- nm - Dano May 12, 07:00
  - The site says the first 2000 get a 5 oz 'collectible' glass. -- nm - JaxSean May 12, 06:49 3
    - I'll say this: that's a big taster glass and a... dubious list of breweries. - TFox May 12, 06:52 2
      - I wonder if they give out swag, too. The "VIP" tickets say something about getting some of the "high-end" brews that the regular ticket holders won't - JaxSean May 12, 06:57 1
        
        In my experience, beer fests can go two ways. There are legit ones, run by Beer Advocate or similar orgs, that really focus on interesting stuff. - TFox May 12, 07:51

you can stop worrying about this, the Wii is going to get a Fireplace simulator game. -- (link) - tRuMaN May 12, 06:38 2
