http://lacraftbeercrawl.eventbrite.com/ anyone been to previous years? how was it? seems pretty pricy as with many beer festivals, on one hand i think it would be fun to go, on the other i think of the beer i could buy with the ticket price, to be enjoyed in a relaxing line-free environment
I went a couple years ago. I had a blast. My buddy and I both brought bikes which cut down on the time travelling between bars. I recommend doing that if you can. I don't remember there being a bunch of rare stuff but it was still a good time.
I have gone for the last 2 years and there have been some decent beers/breweries. Most of the bars are fairly close to each other and you got a good amount of beer. I thought it was good value. This year, however, they changed the format to be 2 days instead of 1. I'm a little concerned they will just roll out the same offerings both days and not have anything you couldn't find on the store shelves. TFP 6 + BP 5 are much better options that weekend. Those tap lists are insane.
