Side Project / Shared (2019)

Fobab is $85, Firestone Invitational is about $100 and FoFA is $100. Those are all heavy hitter fests. Food is included at Firestone too. Like all y'all, I love these guys but what justifies the price?

$100 is the max I've seen for festivals that don't include bottles. I'd still pony up if I can get a ticket but we'll see if it's worth a second visit.

 

For $150 I’d hope they include a to go bottle

 

Yeah, they put it at a price point that makes ya go “how bad do I need this?”

 

Stopped by the cellar tonight and Coexpressionalism Kriek is going to be $40 with 2pp limit

 

Going to be in town tomorrow. Think this will sell out quickly?

 

I drop $300 every time I step foot in there. I’m getting out easy if I can get a ticket for $150.

They gonna lose money on my big ass with this all you can drink deal.

 

no. It’s a Side Project sour in 2019.

 

Sunsets went quick AF last weekend although I realize it was a multi day deal

 

A lot of people buying Sunsets seemed like they were from out-of-town here to pick up BBT and whatever else they could get to-go.

 

Thanks. Don't get down there much so wasn't sure.

 

The claim here is that they pay for all of the beer coming in. A lot of the fests priced lower (GABF is a good example that I know of) I believe do not actually pay for the beer being poured. Those are donated kegs from breweries.

Would be nice to see maybe a price point higher $200-$300(?) akin to what Firestone Walker does (with early entry tickets) with a share (read: some, not all, this is a business after all) of the profits being donated to a local charity. SP has the affluent (hyped?) base to support the price point and can do some good as well while maintaining a small, exclusive event.

 

Every festival is set differently due to that local states beer laws. Some are donations, some are paid for, and some are just handshake deals between breweries in good faith that they will return the favor when/if they host a festival of their own.

 

Doesn’t look like Kriek sold out. Hopefully it will last until I get to town later this week to grab a bottle or two

 

Talk to me about the Anniversary Party...

Can anyone who went last year recall the on-site bottle list?
Trying to decide if it is worth the 5 hour drive and one night stay.
Thoughts?
Cheers!

 

If you have the time to spend there, it’s worth it...
