Wonder what was in the "Schwag Bag" ... Was the food AYCE? It doesn't look like they were leading people to believe they would get free beer or free/cheap small pours .. Looks like they got exactly what they were told they were going to get for $30 .. I could see being pissed if they charged $100 or something .. but $30? that ain't that much money, really ..

ETA: really just sounds like an opportunity for the same crowd to trash the place on here ..

If you had gone, paid $30, left with a shirt, a bag of crap, and no buzz, you'd be ok with that? After having gone to a "beer" gathering?

People feeling ripped off in this thread aren't conspiring about the place. They've legitimately felt ripped off there on more than one occasion.

If they would have just added "Beer available for purchase" or anything along those lines, I don't think people would be as ticked. But...I am sure PH knew if they added that no one would buy a ticket. People don't go to beer events for the pork sandwiches. Likewise, those breweries can't sell product by just talking about it (or can't sell near as much)...at the very least, free samples would have been a win/win for both PH and the vendors.

They should have had an option to get in the door for free and not get any of that other stuff. I would rather just buy the beer for what it costs and not force me to pay $30 for food I dont want and a shirt thats going to be thrown to my cats for something to lay on and whatever swag is.

$30 isnt much but lets see what I would have had to spend for me and the gf to go.

$10-12 Uber there
$60 to get in
$50 or so on beer
$10-12 Uber home.

So around $130-140 for us to go out and drink maybe 3 beers a piece. Thats absurd. The price would probably be $200 because I would have to go somewhere after because of my sore butt.
