Two years ago it wouldn't have been worth going to if it were free. I've heard that it was better last year, but I've gotten really skeptical of those huge beerfests.
Huh? Two years ago was awesome, except for the bathroom situation. It gets better every year - one of the best events during Beer Week, IMO. There may be better beer at other events, but they're all more of a cluster**** than the Gala. As long as you don't stupidly rush the Younger line, there's very little wait everywhere else.
I have gone the last 3 years, and every year it has gotten a little worse in terms of ratio of attendees to number of brewers. The ones a few years back had no waiting for any beer except for Younger. If I was going to go this year, I'd forgo Younger and rush to all the empty booths while everyone waits in line!
Not sure this is true - the coordinators said they haven't increased the number of tickets since the new venue, and I'm pretty sure the number of breweries is not decreasing.
It's the best large-scale event outside of FW.
Speaking of which, anyone have any extra VIP tickets? I need 1 more.
