I had 2 tickets and was about to pay...then cancelled...after realizing how much money I'd probably end up spending!
Gonna put my money towards a fun August long weekend instead of a fun few hours.

Ironically, I will probably be in Belgium that day. But I would have been all over this. Nowadays, there are few reason's I'd drop large amounts of money and time on a beer event, but this would be that event.

Bring a couple hundred just to be on the safe side. That might even be a conservative number.

The description says there are 15 beers in bottles, but lists only 10. Is this due to some beers being available in multiple vintages, or are there undisclosed bottles?

I'd assume at least $5-10 per sample just based on what regular beers go for. Possibly more depending on the rarity of the beers.

I heard that we are looking at $8 for 3 oz pours.
