Beer Conn

My favorite part about this beer fest was that it was not oversold, and was not super crowded, as many past beer events have been. There were barely any lines, it wasn't crazy and hectic, and you were actually able to speak with the reps from the breweries for a bit. I liked how it was a bit longer than most beer fests I have been to, so you don't feel as rushed. Very nice how they had water available at all stations to rinse/drink in between beers. Great event! Looking forward to next year!

small selection and mundane.Boring. No entertainment.There are many other Beer events that are much better for the $

Good job with organization. Not too crowded, great beers! I would do this again.

Great event,not overcrowded, short wait at beer lines, overall excellent.

There were 40 great brewers with a whole range of styles of Beer, shirts, hats and more!

well organized, im takin g1 start out due to lack of food choices. highlight the spiked seltzer and the hot sauce stand.

Beer Conn was okay. The participation by local breweries was excellent, but the variety of beers presented was a bit disappointing. Lots of IPAs, stouts, porters, and ales. I don't like IPA or overly hoppy styles, some of the ales were good, but got to be heavy after drinking several. Would have liked to see more lagers, wheats, pilsners, etc. A lot of this is probably seasonal, but still...having lighter beers to offset the heavy ones would have been nice. Attendance seemed pretty decent, but we never had to wait long in a line at any of the booths. The jerky vendors were great. Food outside the arena itself, was awful. Paid $9 for a grilled cheese and chips. Was hoping for more artisanal food vendors inside the arena, or food trucks outside. I guess the event description was misleading, or I misunderstood it. Finally, I am docking my rating by another star because the ticket price was OUTRAGEOUS. $48 for one ticket, plus $10 for parking. I'm guessing that's to cover the costs of holding it in the arena, but I will never spend that much to attend this again. It was definitely not worth that much unless you are a die-hard beer lover and have the money to waste. I'd rather visit the breweries themselves and pay $6-$10 (about what I've paid in the past) for tastings.

Great variety and vendors - all around fun and friendly event

The worst brewfest ever. The tickets were over priced. I have never been to a brewfest that gave plastic tasting cups. Will never go to this again

Awesome Beer, Awesome Times! Would do it again next year.

For $50 after ticketmaster fees for hours of tasting it was still a decent value, but we were very disappointed it was not close to as awesome as the summer event, no music and overpriced food(think Yankee stadium). The summer event had a live band, wasn't anal about 2oz pours, and the food trucks had a wide variety at reasonable prices. We will absolutely do the summer event again(5stars), but we won't do the winter one again.
