Are any BA's planning on going to this? http://www.beersummit.com/ I went in the winter and I enjoyed myself. Maybe we could turn this into a Boston BA event.
Same week as NERAX ... already dedicated two nights of drinking at that fest. I would have gone perhaps.
I'm attending NERAX on Friday night and helping a brewer friend pour beers at the Summit on Saturday afternoon. Looking forward to the new NERAX location. I hear it's twice as big as the Dilboy Post.
I didn't notice a beer list for this. Anything good at the Beer Summit typically, or just the regular line-ups from these breweries?
Just the regular line-up and maybe some current seasonals. Went for the first time in the winter only because I was looking for something to do that day. This fest is more for people who want to drink and have fun than geek out over some rarities. I did spend a lot of time in front of the b.nektar booth which was great.
Yes. No tickets needed to get a beer. Most brewers do bring their year round beers and seasonals, but sometimes there's some hidden gems. For instance, I've had Utopias twice at the Beer Summit and Dogfish Head sometimes brings 120. I like to try beers from breweries I don't typically have access to like Paper City and The People's Pint.
I'm bummed that NERAX rescheduled to this weekend and my less beer-geeky friends wanted to go to the Beer Summit. It's my first time as well. I was trying to find a beer list, but am not coming up with anything.
NERAX runs from Wednesday to Saturday. If you can't make it on Saturday try to get there during the week. No beer list for the Summit, but the floor plan is available http://www.beersummit.com/images/April2012_FloorPlan.pdf
Yeah, I may check out the Wed or Thurs session. I hope this new venue is worth its relatively-inconvenient location. FYI, BrewGene will have the beer list available on their app. Waiting to see when that will be available.
