Summer Craft Beer Fest in Liberty Village

Jsut saw first mention of this in a tweet today.

Tonight until 10pm. Seems like it wasn't promoted very much, or I just wasn't playing attention.

The same people are putting on one at Berkeley Church for Beer Week. The best part about this one is this blurb from their website:

"Each brewery has either brewed something totally unique specifically for this event, or they are bringing you a brand new brew that hasn't hit the shelves yet!"


There's a livingsocial deal right now that gets you two tickets for 20 bucks (one is 17 if you order it online):

Disclaimer: If three people use that link I get my tickets free.

The Summer Craft Beer was completely overpriced. Almost criminal. If you didn't get in on the limited half-price tickets, it was $35 just for the priviledge of entry. Luckily I got a couple freebies from a friend.

Not a single sample ticket included.

I was there last night and many of the breweries were pouring out of CANS!

I didn't see much in the way of special one-offs at this event. I also didn't see anything that would justify the extremely high ticket price.
