Wisconsin Craft Beer Festival

Yes, I do want to try 50 beers. Husband kept track, we tried more than 50 beers. Ridiculous. Ridiculously good.
This was a pretty good beer fest. I went to the Friday tasting session and I was really surprised that it wasn’t jam packed with people. There was enough room for everyone with extra space. You could actually have a conversation with a brewer if you wanted, and there was always a table open to stop at.
The beer selection was great! There were plenty of brews that I’ve never had before and an abundance of sour beers. I kinda felt bad for some of the super local brewers because I wasn’t interested in trying something I know I can get anytime and I don’t think I was alone in that.
There wasn’t much as far as food, but it was enough. Let’s be honest, I was there to drink, not eat. There were a few goods merchants there as well, helping to break up the drinking. It was a little annoying that they had volunteers manning a bunch of the taps instead of the brewers. Husband was really excited to talk to people from a few of his favorite breweries, but alas, there were only volunteers.
The other bummer was that some breweries had different beers for different sessions. Inevitably, the one I picked out from the list was one from a different session.
I believe there was also a VIP section, but I’m not sure what else it offered. The whole thing was at Harley, but it could have been anywhere — being at Harley wasn’t really even noticeable.
Although tickets were a little pricier than I would normally pay, I was pretty happy with this one and I’ll likely sign up again for next year!
