Last year the giant beer tent in Lansing's Old Town was great! I like crowded and it was large but cozy and intimate. Many events in Old Town are spread out to more than one tent; hopefully, this event will return to the cozy, intimate atmosphere of Old Town, which can be made bigger. Although, I am looking forward to the event again this winter with an open mind and hope that all have a great time!

Again, maybe it's posted, but I'm not seeing it anywhere. Thanks! one more question: will a list (even a preliminary one) of the breweries involved at the fest be listed in advance?

That wasn't a very smooth move last year. That corner was way too crowded. I'm looking forward to the change of venue. Even though my drive time was doubled it'll be well worth it.

That comes out to be around $1.00 per oz. of beer! Seeing as though the beer is supplied directly from the brewers without a middleman you could afford to give the public 12 for ounces for each $1.00. I won't be participating for that price. $35.00 entrance fee! What a gouge! That comes out to be around $1.00 per oz. of beer!
