  It will work, but it depends on if you want to ever do big beers. I use a 5 Gallon Coleman
  MAXCold water cooler and it works great for me, but I never really do beers bigger than 1.06.

  Thanks for all the replies, guys. The festival wasn't really the only reason for my trip, I
  wanted to visit the city anyway, it's just the festival helped me pick the date. Any other

  Good point about avoiding the busy day. I don't necessarily have to go on a brewery tour, but
  I'd like to know the cool beer relates places to go. I think I might stay at the paramount

  Wanted to take at least one day to visit a brewery. Which day during the festival is the
