2009 was my first time going to this fest, and we walked right in. No line. No wait. No trouble. 2010 was an entirely different story entirely. We waited outside in the cold for nearly 2 hours, just to get in… to taste an array of pumpkin beers… to go out to celebrate Halloween… to sip, sip, sip and savor… Was it worth it? Was it worth the 2 hour wait in the freezing cold? Was it worth the $ 10 cover charge? Was it worth the $ 20 cost in tasting tickets? HECKYES. Next year, I’m dressing up as the Michelin tire mascot. This way, I’ll be really, really warm for the come-on-just-let-us-in-already wait outside.
