Anyway, looking for comments from people that went to the Buzz Tent this last weekend: Comments, Suggestions? Let us know!<br /><br />The people running the OBF are not all about the money--they are about the beer. Of course there are business considerations, but they will heed your cry--just let them know what you think. Speak up and drink up! Cheers!

I'll only be there Thursday and perhaps Sunday, so I guess it doesn't matter for me anyway. <br /><br />But I know I'd sure be bummed if I bought a $20 ticket to try Double Jack, Huge'R Boont, Double Kilt Lifter, '98 Boilermaker, etc and only got 2 or less of those beers in my sampler of someone else's choosing.<br /><br />Damn...those all sound amazing, though.

Too many of the brews are available around town (or from breweries that aren't buzzworthy, IMO) for me to want to pay $10/pint, esp. when I won't be in control of 1.5 pints. <br /><br />Throw in that it means that I have to go Friday or Saturday, rather than Thursday, a day more befitting beergeekdom, and I might not bite on this 'deal.'<br /><br />I like the concept, not overjoyed with the execution.
