Advice please (for a grumpy 60 year old Brit).

Probably garbage.

The intention was the festival.

I think if you look at last year’s tap list you will find that unless "Ale Avenue, Draft Drive, Suds Street and the Libation Lane VIP Lounge" have undergone MAJOR CalTrans reconstruction there is a lot of pot holes and streets I’d guess most beer nerds wouldn’t venture down.

That said, if you are looking for ticks of run of the mill American craft beer $35 for unlimited tasters might be worth it. However, having lived in the area for a number of years and seeing how this is promoted, it looks to be a $#*@ show of drunken Newport Beach bros trying to maximize that $35 unlimited tasters deal.

They have only gone and changed the date: it’s now in April, so can’t go if I wanted too.
