Aufaber and I have been to the first three that they did, not sure what number they are on now. It used to be AMAZING because they were one of the first West Coast brewfests to bring out names like Surly, Founders, Bells, 3F, etc. basically breweries that didn't exist on the WC. These days though, all the above (sans Surly) are available over here now, so who knows. And none of those are a draw for you, because, well, they've been locally available to you forever. lolol
The really funny part was that, aside from Firestone, the first year, the only breweries that REALLY brought special beers, were the midwest group. haha
All that being said, by the 3rd year, the WC breweries were showing up, and FW had a metric TON of beers there, at various locations.
Also, it's usually 800 degrees and low humidity, but luckily they throw up misters in locations and there are a number of trees available to hide under.
In terms of event only (not outside events), I rank it above GABF, but welllllllll below GTOMW.
