It sounded more like they don't understand their clientele. I've met a fair number of these brewers by taking tours at their place, I wanted to sample beers and talk to them about it. I think even the beer vendors were surprised, the Gnarly Barley co-owner was as mad as everyone else.

The idea that people would pay 30 dollars to join a large group of people and just to talk to these brewers was stupid as hell.

Exactly. It wasn't a "beer dinner". It was no different than when a brewer pops into Avenue or Bulldog or wherever to give out some promo stuff and encourage people to buy their beer.

This happens all the time at beer bars. And it is never done so with a cover charge.

The City Pork food is cool and all, but Pelican does serve their own (pretty decent) food. If they were charging $30 to cover the expense of the event, they could have just served their own food... or not done any free food.

But how often do you get the opportunity to discuss the nuisances of the beers you're about to pay an arm and a leg for?
