Never disappoints and is worth every penny. Remember your pretzel necklaces and be kind to your friends when you post pictures the next day. Cheers!

Home Sweet Beer

An event to celebrate the american craft beer scene! Congrats Brewers Association and all the participants for such unforgettable moments! Take it easy and enjoy as much as you can!

First of all, it's great to be able to get a ticket to this event since it's been inundated by scalpers in the past. So great that GABF increased their real estate, so it's not crowded . Well done!

Christian Baker

Arrive an hour before doors, know the rules (no backpacks, empty bottles up to 32oz for water allowed, etc.), and have fun - there's no better beer fest in the world 🍻

#PPPPPP piss poor planning leads to piss poor performance aka plan what breweries you want to hit up with the GABF app - the good stuff goes out fast. Also set an alarm for special tappings!

Damian DeBuiser

Stop by Darwin Brewing from Sarasota, FL. The Churapa is the best beer at the festival . Enjoyed by Charlie Papazian himself regularly! He lives nearby.

Tim Jackson

At the Great American Beer Festival? Try to keep it classy !

Jordan White

This is a must do every year. Make a pretzel necklace and have a plan of attack.

Russ Yeager

Go by Booth O121 to purchase your Brew Caddy - a GABF MUST HAVE!

If you're a noob at the Great American Beer Fest, the best tip is to wear food jewelry . Pretzel , candy , or Slim Jim necklaces will suffice.

Adrian Sciutto

Bottlehood has an amazing selection of repurposed glass. Check them out @ booth 367 and like them on Facebook for a $5 off coupon.

It really sucks that they let ticket vendors buy out the tickets...they really should put a stop to it! I really wanted to go but it's f'd up that I will be charged double the ticket price.

Ok, one more tip: Longest lines are Dogfish Head , New Glarus, and Russian River...so hit them up early if you can!
