You could've volunteered to work the event, Griphin. That's the route I'm taking. But I hope to hell it doesn't really mean I don't get to drink (for free needless to say). I'll be there Friday as well and then I believe they throw a party for the volunteers after close on Saturday. Dreggs and foam for everyone, cool. - Sat, 27 Aug 2005 9:17am

Yeah- but it costs $20 AND you have to pay for the beer. It should be an all-you-can-drink event. - Mon, 29 Aug 2005 10:18am

Ya and which breweries would like to showcase their finest beers to a bunch of yahoos who are just looking for a cheap drunk?

The beer they sell isn't exactly at bar prices either.

"All you can drink event".. ya that sounds responsible. Go take your 15 pack of lucky under the bridge pal. - Mon, 29 Aug 2005 11:56am

$1.00 per 100ml of beer. deal? i'm not sure, cheaper than bar yes but still expensive considering they want to get you hooked on there beer. anyways price really isn't the issue. it's the fucking line up to get the beer that is the worst. you line up for 10-15 minutes sometimes only to get 100ml of beer.

blah blah blah - Wed, 31 Aug 2005 11:56am

That's why I'm going on the Fri and not the Sat. The lines are mellower on the Fri for some reason.

I hear that they made some changes this year as to how much each beer costs and how much you get. I think they are trying to fix the constant long lines.

Hey DVS did I say "deal"? DID I?

Hey Neen thanks for noticing... - Wed, 31 Aug 2005 6:34pm

they are battling the line issue this year, or so I've heard.

Beers are a buck and quatre for about 4 ounces...

You are going for some good beer you may not normally drink and the goodtimes... not the drunk (ok,I'm going for the drunk too). I've been before and it really is a goodtime. - Fri, 2 Sep 2005 12:30pm

Sorry you missed out. I went to both days and had fun. Get this though....I didn't drink on the Sat. I actually went pretty late and wanted to pick up my car that I had left the night before so I didn't drink Sat until after the beer fest. Let me tell ya though being the only sober one there (besides the cops) by the end of it was pretty entertaining. - Sun, 11 Sep 2005 4:01pm

that was a bit of a gong-show. 7PM rolled around pretty quick that night.

It was fun, I'll need to that again next year. Maybe a little less drinking :-P - Sun, 11 Sep 2005 5:19pm

What can I say...I spent part of the night drinking beer in the alley across the street from Lucky Bar, and in the gardens at the Empress. I felt like a teenager again. My friends were having a "who has the hairiest ass" contest in the alley. I didn't need to compete. - Mon, 12 Sep 2005 9:48pm
