yeah how does this work exactly.
You pay $45 to go in...and what does that get you? Any beers? Or you have to buy beers on top of that? If so, how much? |

it gives you quite a bit of beer tickets and the glass to taste them all. if you want to purchase more tickets they will cost you.
if they didn't do this, the place would be way too full and the people that really want to go would be waiting in line. it's just a way to reserve your spot. |

| As I recall from last year, some beer samples cost 2 or 3 beer tickets. The servers are much more generous near the end of the night though. |

I had an amazing time last year even with all of the rain. I bought 4 tickets for the Saturday back in February or March but may not be using them...there is just way to much going on right now for me to deal with the kind of hang over this will cause.
May be selling mine but will be waiting another day or two until I decide. |

actually just made the decision to skip this...I just have way too much going on.
I know I can sell the tickets on Craigslist for more than face value but would prefer to offer it up here.
I have 4 tickets $45 + service fees = $198.00
PM me if interested |

They had a beer master for a hotel chain on CityTV this morning.
And I saw my Tiger beer featured on the table! :) |

So much for only wanting to have a beer or two!
This kind of reminds me of our disastrous version of a "tailgate" party when the NFL was in town.
Sad
PS if line ups are that long that they have to charge like this... add capacity instead... you get more people and sell more ;) |
