In response to "Has anyone ever been to a "Beer Fest?" Where they sample a ton of beers." by JaxSean

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.

They will serve food, so buy and eat a lot of that. They will also have bottled water; keep some at your side at all times.

They are quite fun and delicious though.

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
