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.

My dad was so pissed off by the end. We are both craft drinkers that also occasionally brew our own beer, both in the middle class, and both understanding people, but with the Cove next door, we will never be back. We have done the beer dinners at BJ's, Whole Foods, among others so it's not like we avoid them, but I agree this wasn't that.

I think they need a new PR person, this could have easily been avoided with a better written ad.
