I agree the price is right. But I'm curious what these breweries will bring, is Avery encouraging them to bring "one offs" or special beers that we can't normally get either at the brewery or at a quality bottle shop? I see only a few breweries that don't distribute here. I would like to see Avery get some more breweries from around the country, seems like they could pull that off
Price is certainly right. I could see it being a bit oversold. Especially, if they are eliminating both SourFest & Strong Ale Fest and replacing them both with this one event? I guess if it is properly planned and spaced out over their property, it could work out. At that price, I might need to check it out.
What a great event! Thanks for all the fine work Rachael and Sarah! It was a very well run event, and everyone I saw had a blast. Cheers! It was pretty hot, but the tents helped out a bunch, as did all the cold beer.
