The organizers now require brewers to furnish their own insurance, as well as pay for booth rental and of course provide the beer. I don't know of any local AZ brewers that will be attending. Also, the crowd is much more up for frat-style binge drinking than beer appreciation. This is fine, except they don't know how to attend a fest. The lines for everything are out of control! I would avoid this, attend the Strong Beer Festival and hope Draft does their Big Pour again. I have been very disappointed with this festival ever since it moved to Tempe Town Lake.
