New Festival - Big Brew Houston

Just saw this. Looks like the city is getting ambitious. I’ll be really curious to see how this goes and if they run it like GABF with unlimited samples as opposed to most smaller festivals in the state that require drink tickets.

State law is the guideline fof the drink tickets.

Just curious, do you know when that law was passed? As recently as November of 2011, the Monsters of Beer festival in Houston had an entry fee with a tasting cup and unlimited samples.

One way or another:

1)You can most often buy unlimited tickets

but

2) if someone thinks you have over imbibed you will be stopped

3) or escorted out

or

4) arrested for PI

Completely valid point, and I’m certainly not saying you’re wrong. But I do find it hard to believe a beer festival, even the size of Monsters of Beer, wouldn’t be on the TABC radar to a point where that law would be blatantly ignored.

Either way, it looks pretty ambitious and I’m interested to see how Big Brew Houston goes.
