    Quick question, does "check into the fest up to 30 mins early" mean we just get in early or get in and brewers will start serving their beers early as well? Thanks!

    For Extreme Beer Fest VIP: I just wanted to confirm that we'll start processing at least 45 mins before the start of the session and start letting you in 30 mins before.

    Your badge and corresponding wristband will grant you early access to the fest floor, access to the VIP lounge, and access to the VIP bathrooms.

    Brewers have been advised to be ready 30 mins before doors.

    And the Survival Guide has been updated to reflect the clarification:

    See you soon...

    Cheers!

    I’m hoping that they have some special pours in the VIP lounge....getting in early to stand around... Hummm?

    200 VIP per session were sold (600 total). That's out of 4,000 attendees per session (12,000 total).

    As stated in the update, you'll have early access to the VIP lounge and fest floor. And brewers have been advised to be ready 30 mins before doors.

    And we're aiming to post the VIP lineup today.

    Correct. Processing will start 45 mins before doors and then we'll start letting you in 30 mins before doors.
