SF Giants Annual Brewfest

Great beer selection. Vendors were willing to give you as many samples as you can hold (within the 8 tastings, of course).
But the layout leaves a lot to be desired. Maybe rope off sections so that people can walk through the crowd? Maybe have the vendors at each side of the square, rather than along the same side?
The band was fun. The check in process went smoothly. But I don’t think I’d go again because the wait in line was not worth a small sample of beer and it was tough to mingle when everyone is crammed so close together. You’re better off buying a regular sized beer inside the park.

Super crowded. Long lines make it nearly impossible to get your 8 tastes. The beer was good and cold and there was a good variety. My biggest issue was that when you attend brewfest and enter in the gate adjacent to brewfest, you do NOT receive any of the promotions for that game. They even stamp your ticket with a stamp saying NO PROMOTIONS. If you want the giveaway for that game, you have to wait in line at another gate, enter the park, then leave the park and go get in line for brew fest. In the future I will buy my beer inside the park and skip the crowd AND get the giveaway. Bottom line is we were all disappointed.

Came here with a large group to kick off Memorial Day weekend. I thought that for its first year, Bewfest, wasn’t too bad. Hopefully, next year they will learn from some logistical snafus and make it even better.
Here is the lowdown. For $ 20, you received five free tastings from local breweries, a ticket to the game, and a commemorative beer tasting glass (for the first x amount of people). The local breweries included Thirsty Bear, Speakeasy, and 21^st Amendment.
Overall, I had a good time. But I hope that next year, they expand the area. It felt pretty crowded when we first got to Lot D which I don’t like since I’m not the tallest girl. I can’t complain, though, since it was a gorgeous day out, I had good company, and some great brews!
