Brewtopia was craaaazy!......mass drunkenness. This place was definitely packed

In Reply To #6 Mass drunkenness and crowded? hmm...

In Reply To #6 Were you able to find alesmith and bear republic? 4000 people sounds insane. I usually go to sippin' by the river in the fall in Philly. It gets well over 1000 people so it ends up being all people who know nothing about beer :(

Sounds like it was lame. Boooooo!

Nah, it wasn't lame at all. Almost everyone had a great time, all the breweries want to do it again, and the crowd was great. No drunks got thrown out at all, which was a little better than last time. Sure, some people prefer festivals to be empty of people, but how festive is that? True, a couple of the highlighted breweries cancelled out last minute, but they had their reasons, and don't forget the Craft Brewers Conference in Philly kept quite a few away off the bat. All in all, the band was good, the beers were good, espcecially Southampton and Heavyweight, not to mention all the cool Belgian and German imports, so for a second event I think we did quite well. So, to all you naysayers, whose sole purpose in life seems to be to focus always on the negative, I say "lighten up". Next event: October 22nd, and I promise the beer selection will be twice as good and we get 10,000 more square feet of space. In Reply To #12

Does anyone ever have anything going on in the midwest? Maybe I need to move out east where they have stuff going on.
