I second that/this

I've got to say this was a bit of a disappointment for a couple reasons. It was so crowded you had to wait in long lines to sample a beer. The event was supposed to be from 7-9:30 but by about 8:30 many of the vendors ran out of beer making the lines even longer for those that still had any. I only managed to sample 10 or 12 in 2.5 hours. I would have been better off just going to a bar with my friends and it wouldn't have cost us $40.

I hope next year they cut down on ticket sales to avoid these issues again or either find some way to cut down on the lines.

I don't think they expected quite the crowd that turned out, which is indirectly a good thing. I'm sure they will plan for a larger crowd next year so they don't run out of beer.
