Anyone else going this weekend? I had been to this fest once years back and thought it was great. Finally getting to go again this year. Can anyone speak to whether it’s run just as well now as it was years ago? I assume it is. The beer list looks as fun and tickerific as I remember: https://www.beervanafest.com/brewers.htm
I am going to the night session tomorrow evening. It has been run very well for many years, although there is a new format this year. Each year I could feel it getting more and more crowded, now this year the organizers have switched it up to be 2 sessions on a Saturday. Things will feel a little more comfortable if I were to guess! Using the upstairs space starting like 4 years ago really opened things up as well, although due to all the corridors there are times when things are winding down and I realize I haven't been to "X" brewer's table yet. All in all, this is the only event I have to attend every year, getting online the first day in April that sales start.
