    Decatur Beer Festival Tickets Sell Out in 7 Hours

    Decatur Metro | September 20, 2010 | 10:45 pm

    Geez, that was fast.

    Last year it took 12 days for the 2010 Decatur Craft Beer Festival to sell out.  This year it took 7 hours to sell all 4,000 tickets!  I’m not sure what caused the mad rush this year beyond general increasing popularity, but I bet the 12 noon start time didn’t hurt things.  This morning it seemed like the whole Twitter world was spitting out reminders every few seconds.  I remember a couple years ago, when I was one of a lone few reminding folks of such things.

    Regardless, big congrats to the Beer Fest!  I think that pink elephant might be a good-luck charm. 😉
