I attended last year. It’s an interesting event and is cool to be able to drink beers from breweries we don’t see much of on the westside. I must say this was the first beer festival I’ve ever been to that didn’t have a giant line waiting before it opened. I was there five mins before opening and was number 2 in line. The inside was also kind of weird. I would have preferred an outside venue, but it’s super windy there that time of year and still a bit cold so I get the inside. It was just a funny setup since I and numerous people said it felt like a junior high dance because the middle was a huge open space with a few sparse tables with the breweries ringing the whole thing. I had a pretty good time though and went to a couple of fun taphouses after.
Tony, the Commission sent more information, saying that this event “will have an indoor/outdoor element to take advantage of the typically pleasant spring weather in the area.”
