    From the FAQ: “Designated Driver tickets will be available at the door the day of the festival. Advance sales of the Designated Driver ticket are not available. Designated Driver ticket holders are not permitted to consume alcohol.”

    I won't be getting into town until just before Session One on Friday, but I'd be down for meeting up in-between sessions on Saturday for a beer or two. No idea where I'll be hitting Friday or Saturday night yet.

    Anyone who loves lager, go say hi to my friends at Art History Brewing. Highly recommend drinking all their lager.

    A lot of criticism of this fest is popping up on social media. Any official response from BA or Next Glass?

    So there are breweries pouring there that they feel have not addressed sexual abuse, harassment, et al.; properly and would like said breweries to be removed?

    Yes, with the caveat that I’m trying to piece different narratives together from social media, my understanding is that people are especially frustrated and angry that breweries accused of sexual harassment and abuse are participating in the fest.

    I may be getting this wrong, but it also appears that some of the festival’s anti-harassment policies or procedures were only announced in recent days.

    Separately, I believe some people approached Untappd about putting links to breweries’ anti-harassment policies on the app, and that the company seemed disinterested in that undertaking.

    Excited for today's event! See you all there. Is there a gathering that's going to happen before the event as previously mentioned?

    Yes. I reached out to the team this morning for more info. Here's what they shared:

    ###

    Right now we are focused on providing a safe environment for this event. Next Glass festivals are governed by a code of conduct that is designed to provide a safe environment for all participants. As part of that code, all participating breweries, vendors, sponsors, and attendees are required to abide by the code, which includes provisions for removal and other actions as deemed necessary by the security team.

    We did have a code of conduct posted on our festival website which included anti-harassment language. A few months ago, on this forum, we committed to further strengthening our code and procedures, including a mechanism for reporting violations. Once we completed the vetting process we decided to work with #NotMe and updated our code to include this new process.

    As part of this new process, we have posted throughout the venue instructions on how to report a complaint via #NotMe and have robust security procedures in place as we do at all of our events.

    After sharing our code with stakeholders we received feedback and have made adjustments and will continue to evaluate.
