Is this the one put on by the people who knew what they were doing last year at Discovery Green or the other group that put on the disaster that had people waiting in crazy long lines (can't remember where it was)?
Its the latter. Although, I heard last year was run better. I still have no desire to attend. Texas Beer Fest is no more. I believe they said it was too expensive and the creators didn't have the time /resources to do it again.
These people? http://blogs.houstonpress.com/eating/2011/06/houston_beer_fest_outsells_its.php Clearly they haven't learned their lesson since they have a groupon up too.
