What beer festivals are coming up around (say within 200 miles) of our area. I will not be able to go to Brewgrass again this year so I want to go to at least two besides the Brewers Jam. cheerstevo

Good location, and I’ve found lots of good stuff in the past.

Huntsville: May 10-11; http://www.rocketcitybrewfest.com/ (Lodging at my house if needed) Haven’t decided which day I’m going, maybe both

Birmingham: May31-Jun 1; http://www.magiccitybrewfest.com/

Huntsville: Southern HOPSpitality - Not sure of date this year but usually first week of Oct during Huntsville Beer Week. I’ll let you know when it gets closer.

Birmingham: Fall FestivAle - Not sure of date this year but usually first week of Nov. I’ll let you know when it gets closer.

Hotoberfest in Atlanta has become worthwhile.

Is it packed out like the Jam? I think I will try to get Jo to drive me home from this.

We’ve been for the last 2 years and really liked it. We kinda think it’s less packed, and the old train depot location is pretty cool.

Unfortunately we’re gonna miss this year. It’s on the day we’re driving back from Florida...

I’ve been trying to order tickets for the Friday session and can’t get through. Are tickets still on sale?

If your talking about the Huntsville Fest, it was the last two days so don’t buy tickets now if you do find them

You should still be able to get tickets for Birmingham.

Any idea what time I need to get there so that I’m not standing at the gate with just 2 hours left in the fest. Help me if you can. cheerstevo

We went to this bad boy. Let me tell you they had a line up. The crowd was large. The bama brews were plentiful. I think I will try to go back next year. Eat before you go. The food was good but the crowds in the food lines were a bitch. What is the next kickass Festival? cheerstevo
