Anyone go to this last year? If so, can you review it?
I’ve been the last couple of years. It has been a very fun event historically. It hasn’t been terribly crowded in the past, so you have space to move around and a bit of latitude to chat up the brewers that were there. You may not get a lot of special releases, but the offerings are very good and plentiful. You’ll likely get a chance to try everything you want. There’s a mix of brewers, brewery employees and volunteers giving out the beers. In the past the Lift Bridge guys have been present, Jeff Williamson and Mike Elias of Flat Earth, Berg of Schells (can’t remember if Jace Marti has been there), Stutrud of Summit, one of the Brau Bros. (Trevor), Jim from Surly, and a couple of guys from Fitgers whose names I can’t remember (off the top of my head). So, it has been a bit of an intimate event where one can chat up one’s favorite brewer. It’s been growing, though. Good time, IMO.
