I am def. going to the event so spare me all of the BS about it not having any special brews. Just trying to decide if the upcharge for the VIP ticket is worth it or not.

- get in hour early
- free food
- VIP area access
- Exclusive Beer Selections Not Available to the General Admission Ticket Holders (THE BIG ONE)

extra $35

food you might spend about $20. Need to show up with a proper food base though.

hour early is nice, but i can also have a tendency to taste too fast and wear out earlier

big one is these "exclusive beers" always hate this wording. i dont want surprises. just let me know what they are and if i want to pay the extra or not

i would go VIP if i was going with friend and would pass if going solo

Depending on beer and food selection, it should be worth it. Use the first hour to taste all the beers without lines and when it gets crowded, head over to the food and select beers.

How crowded was this event last year ? I don't remember what it was but something else was going on at the same time last year.
