Attended the Microbrew Fest 2012 on Saturday at Optimist Park. The event goes fast - it starts at 3pm and goes to 7pm. Highly recommend VIP tickets. VIP allows you to enter an hour earlier at 2pm with little to no line at the vendor booths. It's nice to have the extra hour. At 3pm/3:15pm, the general admission crowds arrived. But it was still great, the event has so much to offer that the crowds are thinned out by the many options available. The lines moved - most of the venues still didn't have any lines. Walk right up and get your requested craft beer.
Great Event!! Really enjoyed! You make new friends at every turn. You run into friends from all sorts of origins.
The last Microwbrew Fest, I attended was in 2009. In comparison this event was three times the size. 2009 was SunKing's first Microbrew Fest. Now the event is three times the size and is a much better event. Full offering of food booths. They had a pavilion with live music. The event now stretches down to the river - a great place to sit while enjoying the Indiana Microbrews.
It was great to see the new up and coming Indiana Breweries - really exciting to see them doing so well with such great beer!
