    It's all about moderation, and making sure that you eat before the event, during the event, and hydrate (with water).

    Make a list of the beers you really want to try, plan that out.

    Eat a lot before you go

    Eat at least once during

    There will be lots of water stations, for every beer you have have the same or more water.

    Relax and enjoy. You'll get your money's worth the time is longer than you think

    As per the FAQ, we no longer ask for volunteer help. Thanks for your interest though.

    Drink water. Eat before. Eat during. Space it out - it isn't a race. Don't try to "collect the whole set." I mean, in downtown Boston, a flight of 4 beers is like $14. You'll definitely get your moneys worth and still be able to walk. You'll want to remember it.

    What happened to Sante Adairius? I was planning on putting a chair and small table in front of their booth.
    Seriously, did they back out?

    They backed out yesterday. Despite our trying to help them out, they simply don't have the resources to handle the fest.

    That's disappointing

    Will you be posting a floor map in advance of the event? With over 200 beers and only 3.5 hours, I want to be sure to plan ahead!

    Now that Sante Adairius is out, can we get refunds on tickets? There's few quality breweries left

    What other breweries left, besides SARA? Did I miss a mass exodus?

    Though, I recall that for EBF Boston some of the brewers that came in for the fest were selling bottles at local beer shops, since they had to get temporary approvals for distribution in MA (or something like that). Any idea if anything like that is going on surrounding this fest?

    Yeah, that typically happens with most fest's. Jester King was in ME over the summer for the maine brewers fest and all the local shops got a drop of their beers.

    At the fest? No. It would be illegal for the brewery to do so.

    For the evening session, can you make sure there are lights in the portapotties. It was definitely surreal for the belgian fest. I mentioned it last time and I am sure you have it dealt with already.
