This was my first time attending the festival. While there were many good craft beers to try, maneuvering the festival was down right miserable. Festival management has room to improve for next year.

Parking was a total cluster. Seemed as though they only made sure enough space existed for the expected participation level, but forgot to think about the efficiency of traffic flow. The walk to the festival entrance from the parking was a road trip and a half without the use of your car.

Line efficiency was non-existant. Most breweries offered 2-4 options and were not efficient at delivering. Often many beer servers/pourers had to toggle back and forth/change places in order to serve the requested brew. Lines were on average 30-40 people long. So, you grabbed a pour and went to stand in the next line of interest. Not the relaxing and fun experience that I was looking forward to.

They offer a single small plastic tasting cup. In every other tasting event I've attended there were rinsing stations with water and/or napkins. Without the ability to taste each beer without remnants of the previous, it becomes difficult to evaluate theeach unique flavor profile.

It was very hot and icky, and there was an extreme shortage of shade or shelter. The bathroom sitch was strictly gross port-o-potties.

I want to love this local event more, but there were too many variables overlooked that put the customer in the 'zone of pain'. Now if this event were cheap of free I would have overlooked the shortcomings, but is in fact neither.
