At the moment I'm planning on heading down for this. I'm also thinking of taking the bus, but the 5pm start time limits how long you can stay if you want to return on the same day. I'll probably head down for lunch - hit up Cole's, Goodbar and Village Beer, and then stay at the fest until around 7:30 before bussing it back.

The key with Buffalo is booking far enough in advance. I've actually gone there for 50 cents in the past. My last trip cost $16, but the cheapest I can find for the 15th is $32 return through megabus.

The awesome thing about going through customs on a bus is they've always waved me through even though I've declared my beer. I guess they figure its not worth holding up a bus full of people for a backpack full of suds.

I'll be going although at this point I don't know if I'll be taking the bus down or getting a lift with a friend. If I get a lift with a friend we'll have to stay over in Buffalo. Can't wait for this fest as it's been great in previous years :D

So, has anyone else been to the Coles website? It must be really out of date because it has a banner for their 3rd annual IPA fest in July....
