The Brewers Plate is much better.

For those of you who were there last year, can you bring your own food to this event?

Is this for sure about the busses? Don't see anything about them on the website.

I may be alone on this but I found last year's event to be one of the most crowded and rowdy of all the beer tasting events I have been to. The crowd was very pushy and much more focused on drinking as much as they possibly could than discovering new beers. I almost got hit at one point when I asked a man to please stop screaming in my ear on a long line. I also didn't see a lot of rare or new beers.

I just went to the World Cafe Live event and found that much better. Many of the beers didn't even have labels yet. It was still crowded but much less so than the Craft Beer Festival and did offer complimentary food.
