    Getting your first tap was a shitshow, but otherwise totally worth it. Full allottment. Plenty of space after first tap. I'd do it again next year. Glad I only live 30 minutes away.

    Wouldn't even say a shit show for taps...just took an understandable few minutes. Well run event, especially for a small-scale brewpub (or whatever terminology is correct). Love these bottles...sexy.

    I'm so peeved. I had first session, packing up at 11:30 to leave from the office and all hell breaks loose. Didn't get out until 2:30 and it's a 45 minute drive. Missed it. The $25 sucks but I mostly feel bad a ticket went unused that someone else could have taken. Hopefully someone at 7 gets my bottles as a happy surprise.

    Awesome event. Exceeded expectations by allowing 4 bottle purchase, not too crowded. Awesome tasting glass. #win

    From the looks of things leaving session two, there should be ample leftovers for the 7pm general admission. Cheers!

    Miller pizza Co isn't jam packed, and they have ba brown and BA hunter on tap. Definitely recommend.

    Was skeptical with cost initially but they are dialed in, Drew took care of shit- smooth as hell, amazing tap, exceeded bottle allotment- bravo!

    Very well run. Only complaint is last call was 20+ minutes before the event ended, not announced out loud (or loud enough for me to hear right by the bar), and the first 10 minutes were spent listening to instructions. Don't mind any of these things in particular, but 25% of a 2 hour event (for $25 and spent another $65) were not spent partaking in the event.

    Just minor constructive criticism. In general, very well run event. Will definitely partake again next year.

    Just for emphasis, event was great. For those that whined about not getting tickets, you will want to be there next year. Even those from Ohio. Or even California. Cheers!

    Getting your first tap was a "shitshow"? Wow. If that's what you consider to be a "shitshow" I'd gladly take it every event I'm at.

    If you consider that to be a shitshow, I hope you're not going to DLD.

    That was absolutely awesome. Saw that there seemed to bea decent amount left so drove over. Got there about 7 parked immediately in the lot area across from them. No line to enter waited about 5 minutes inte bottle line and got one of each with the exception if bitches be crazy which was out. Would have loved to stay and try the rest in tap but had to drive.

    So hearding approximately 150 through a standard size doorway for their first tap can't be improved?

    I'm sure it can, but to say it was a "shitshow" is doing Drew and his staff a disservice and not accurately portraying reality. For their space and the situation, it went very smoothly.

    I'm sure Drew will get over my one criticism of the event.

    You say criticism, I say over exaggeration, but we can stop this now and move on.
