    Looks like no VIP option this year?

    I'm sure the lack of VIP may go back to last year when they let everyone else in 30 min early...looks like its 6 hours too this year, neato :slight_smile:

    Well, crotchety old man posting again.

    Have they solved the issues that were rampant in the last few years, such as overselling a small space, glassware problems, etc.?

    If so, maybe I'd go. The past has been a negative indicator.

    Last year was the first year i went, and i had heard some bad things, but i thought it went very smoothly. It was a bit tight in the tent, and i suppose it helps that it was 70 out last year so people could step outside comfortably...still, i had a great time and will be going again this year!

    good question…if serious I'm sure the collective "we" in MN would find a place!

    Ladies and Gentlemen where?!?!?!

    My townhouse is always open to awesome brewers. I even share from my cellar. I'm assuming this in jest though.

    Alright, so how do we make this happen tgchief. I'm a media producer and could shoot and create some viral content around the event...
