Anyone else going to this? I know it's not as legit as FWIBF, but there's a number of good breweries, some of my favorite local restaurants, and an excuse to spend a weekend in beautiful SLO. http://www.slo-beer-fest.com/
Did anyone here go last year? I might consider it but it is a bit pricey if it is just going to be unlimited pours of fairly common stuff.
I went 2 years ago, as OP stated, for a nice weekend in SLO and that is basically all you are going to get out of it. There are unlimited pours but nothing special even from the local breweries.
