I planned to sit out the Beerfest for the first time last year, opting to sit at the Brick Store instead.
Around noon I ended up buying a ticket at half price from one of the scalpers.
I only stayed for a couple hours, but the beer DID taste better at half price and without the stress of the starting gun

Agree. After going to the very first beer fest through the next, uh, well let’s just say lots of them, I skipped a couple years then went back last year hoping there would be a batch of new ones I hadn’t tried, but wasn’t the case. Too bad the distributors can’t get their act together and bring in new beers. Was just in Asheville last month and there are soooo many good craft brews there that we can’t get here.

Last year there were about 20 or so folks outside the festival gates, trying to unload the extra tickets they bought, for face value or less……..seems like there was a glut of them on Craigs List in the weeks prior (‘uh, really, I wasn’t planning on making a profit, just bought 4 and couldn’t use them all’ –said all 20 of the people outside, including me)

As much as I hate to say it, I may let it slide this year. I finally realized that this festival, for me, has lost its function. There’s nothing there that I haven’t already discovered.

However, it’s always a good vibe…maybe I’ll give it one last gasp…

We won them with a basket of assorted beer goodies at the DeKalb History Center silent auction event a few months ago
