11th Annual Beer Festival in Norfolk

For those interested I just saw this. I don't have the details of it other than what is posted below.

11th Annual Beer Festival on Saturday, May 19 from 2-6 at Towne Point Park in Norfolk

Sounds interesting, but the website doesn't have details aside from date/time. I'd at least like to see a list of breweries.

Has anyone been before?

I went in 2007. There was a lot of breweries there. It was a lot of fun. I still use the tasting glass that they gave out. The only reason I haven't been back is I always seem to be out of town during it. I hope to make it this year.

I'm planning on going.

A large group of friends & I attended this event. We chose to purchase a table which was nice, but not required for a good time. There were some excellent offerings & a great time was had by all. One thing that we found benificial was to purchase additional pitchers. This way everyone at our table would run off & get something they wanted to try & would bring it back to the table to share with the rest of us. This was key in not missing out on some good offerings as the best of the show beers ran out fast. In conclusion, we all had a great time & will most likely attend again in the future.
