2025 Brews, Bourbon & BBQ Festival

We purchased VIP tickets to have early access and take advantage of the snacks. Well, we arrived around 3:50 and while it appears they had started checking people in (not allowing entry yet), it still took us until 4:20 to get into the building, so we already lost 20 minutes of our VIP hour. Also, as others mentioned, when we went upstairs to the VIP room, there were only some cookies available. Not sure we will be back at the VIP price tag.

Smooth check in, good variety of beer, bourbon and food, venders too. Only area to make it better is with VIP snacks. But either way we will be back.

Great event! Great beers and bourbon! Loved having a cigar. Thanks for all the water, it helped. Check in went a lot better this year. We were dropped off and picked up, that went well too. Can’t wait till next year!

Great beer selection.

Great time and good selection of beers. My only complaint is lack of seating. A few more picnic tables or benches would help esp if you want to eat.

4 of us had a Wonderful time!!
Check-in location had Uber/Lyfe vehicles driving through the line of participants. This was terribly unsafe and not well thought out.
Floor layout was nice and allowed multidirectional flow of participants. VIP area was nice.
Having water bottles available was great.
Designated Driver Beverage supplier should have been up near the other beverage vendors, not way out past the BBQ Trucks.
More seating was needed for participants that were eating.
Better highlight that Food is an additional cost above the entry fee.

Paid extra for VIP. Was there early so we wouldn’t have to fight the crowd. Lol. I guess it was just a gimmick to make more money. Because the appetizers was a joke. We found a table with cookies that was picked over. And no where to sit when we got food . Maybe next time more picnic tables and chairs.

Very well spread out and a good variety of breweries. This is my 4th year attending and I liked the addition of bourbon this year and the food truck choices. Will continue to attend this event yearly.

Food was great could use some desert items

Staff was nice and fun
We use Lyft which was a great idea

Need more seating to eat

I went to the event with my son-in-law. We had a great time tasting the various beers and bourbons. I I had to pick one thing that could be improved it would be on site registration. There was some confusion as to when we could go in and what group we were eligible to participate in. All and all, I would return and recommend the event to others.
