Split Rock – Great Brews Classic Beer Festival

I’ve been holding off on posting this because the details have been changing quite a bit….but what they are now calling the “New & Improved Great Brews Classic Beer Festival” will be held Nov 21st & 22nd 2009 from 12PM-4PM.  For anyone who’s attended their festivals before, this was formerly the Great American Beer Festival…but this year it’s different.  First and foremost, Saturday’s event is pre-sale tickets ONLY!  According to what they are telling me, if you do not buy a ticket in advance for Saturday, you will not get in!  This is being done to limit ticket sales so hopefully Saturday will not be such a zoo.  Sunday ticket sales seem to be open to all.  Clicky HERE for info and advanced ticket purchase.  Pricing looks like it will be $33 in advance and $45 Day of Festival for Sat and $28 in advance and $35 at the door Sunday (UP from $25 last year!), so you may just want to buy in advance anyway.  Here’s the latest list of breweries:
