Revolution Oktoberfest 2013

Another amazing party put on by Revolution. Didn't pay for a drink all night thanks to carny games, listened to some good music and hung out with friends. No special tappings unfortunately, but still a great time and well worth the $35 or whatever it cost.

Heres a few pics from my crappy old D40



Everyone knows Mike!






Before it got crowded


This game actually worked for a little while, and was an easy way to free drink tickets


I think the football thing was a bit too easy too, so they shut it down


Easily the best game, you could walk away with several tickets every play


Maybe 5 people won a drink ticket from this bs game. Should have won free drinks for the night for winning this crap


The longest line was for the wheel. Free to spin, and you won lots of stuff. Shirts, hats, stickers, beer, etc. Fun stuff








Proven way to win the wheel spin, dont stop drinking until the wheel stops. Real men finish the beer


I forget who this brewer is, but he was damn hilarious. Dancing around in those tight shorts, smoking the entire time he was on the seat.


You're doing it wrong


Broken glass means no more drinks right?


Wrong

 

Instead of creating a new thread, I'd just like to say that much like recent Rev events, this years Oktoberfest is a big disappointment compared to previous years. All the fun carny games from previous years are gone. No brewers drunk tank. On FB I was told by Rev all food and beer is included but it is all a ticket system. You get a good amount but still... Also, only 4 beers on tap (Oktoberfest, Pils, Fist City and Altbier). In '13 the taproom and all their beers were available. None of the brewery is open for entry, just a very small area in the back with another tap tent. Besides that, there's a huge tent with a lot of seats and a band.

Why do away with the games? Also walking through the brewery, and being able to hang around the taproom made the experience so much more enjoyable before. This just feels like another obscure forgettable beer event in someones parking lot.

 

A quick pic of the entirety of the fest this year. It makes me sad looking back at my 2013 pics. BTW 2014 still had carny games and more fun stuff, but it was rainy and freezing so no one went outside. Also they had closed off the main brewery and tap room for the first time last year which was the beginning of my disappointment in Rev events
