Has anyone here ever been to one of these?
It sounds like it would be fun for someone interested in starting to brew.

I went to the first one, and it was great. At the time I was an SOB, but as I was a stove-top brewer, I didn't brew.
There's so many ways that you can do things, so it'd be great to help newbies choose a path. They did actually have people brewing stove-top, using the brew in a bag technique, and even a huge dedicated setup with pumps & burners (Brutus?).
I had already been brewing for 5 years, but I picked up a few tips as well... For example, I still remember someone dipping the end of a hose into hot water before sliding it onto a spigot (so it would expand and easily slide on) and thinking that I had been such a moron for wrestling with that for years. So many little things.
