It's my first time going this year. Is it the general consensus to check out the home brews over the professional brewers? If so, how do you go about choosing which ones to target?

I generally go mostly toward home brews. Most of the regular beer is stuff you can get at bars with the exception of a few one offs and seasonals.

For the home brewers, I just read the style and see if it's something I like. Works out well most of the time.
Only recall two home brews I tried and hated, but I knew I would, but had to try it for the hell of it. VIP tasting at Mardi Gras World a few years back for WYES. One was a light beer that was supposed be king cake flavor and they put sugar on the rim.
The other was some god awful concoction that was brewed with crawfish boil seasoning. It really did almost taste like drinking boil water from the pot.
