    So, full disclosure, I'll be there signing copies of We Make Beer. However, I wanted to share this link mostly because I'm geeked to get a chance to meet the amazing authors in attendance.

    In my opinion, the books and personalities at the bookstore are more worth the cost of admission than most of the beer that's going to be poured on the showroom floor. What are your thoughts? Besides me of course (kidding), who would you most like to meet on this list of authors?

    I'm stoked to meet Randy Mosher and Stan Heironymous.

    one of my favorite beer moments: seeing mitch steele and john palmer be adorable and signing each others books. i imagine there will be more of this happening at this event.

    curious since its sold out: what was the price of this? and what to you get besides the chance to buy a book and have it signed?

    I think it's available to everybody who gets in to the festival... I think. Then I think the books are sold separately.

    Yes, it's a book selling area inside the festival hall (up front next to the t-shirts, but usually no lines unlike the shirts)-- buy a book and get it signed.

    Can never have enough books on beer. I'll stop by Saturday and grab a copy.

    Can I bring copies of these that I already have, or do I have to buy them there to get them signed?

    Aside from the bag policy, it depends on who is at the entrance to the book area. Perhaps if you're nice and show them the books as you enter, they might let you. In the past it's been low-key but setup to get the book signed and then pay on your way out.
