    I went for 4 years in a row until last year because they moved it to Anaheim as opposed to irvine lake where we would camp the night of. The beers are usually pretty standard stuff but for a good time and to drink a lot of beer it fits the bill. The OC brew ha ha is the best event for
    Unlimited beers and good ones at that.

    Nothing is included except unlimited tastings. They have a band and food truck as mentioned above. If you buy the VIP some breweries bring "VIP" beers that are limited and sell out by the time general admission hits.

    I went year before last when it was at the Irvine lake, it was good times for sure. OC Brew Ha Ha for sure is the better festival if you can only do one but if you can swing both, this one is quite fun as well.

    Not sure what you mean but I am going to assume you are referring to my comment that the oc brew haha is the best event. I was referring between oc brew fest and haha, the brew haha is much better. I understand that there are much better events, a lot more events that are better.

    He is allowed to be uppity. Chris hosts Woodshop, one of the very top echelon annual beer hoedowns where attendees come up with bottleshare goodies like they were digging through a Poperinge root cellar or sumpin'.

    Agreed. I'm not expecting my mind to be blow but it should be good times. We will need to meet up for sure.

    You know its a bad beer event when you pour out more than you drink and then come home and drink more beer.

    That's the last OC Beer fest I go to.

    For sure. Poured at least 3 beers on the floor. some good beers but nothing at all that was awesome. And a lot of crap and kinda long lines. not worth it. More hot girls at this event though compared to the sausage fests at the better fests.
