question of the day - beer festivals. In your experience, do you find beer festivals still useful? Or, have you never attended one and didn't realize there was such a thing?
Second question. If you have attended them, do you find the serving volume and ABV daunting?

@beer I loved beer festivals. We used to go as a group and all split up and grab beer to share with each other so we had the best chance to try as much as possible.

Post-covid none of us are down to share anymore, so we all kind of stopped going. Plus all the ones near me keep making huge jumps in admission price.

@gnitro Like you, it wasn't uncommon to exchange tastes amongst immediate friends. Now, things are a bit more complicated.
It's also why we don't attend many pub's/alehouse festivals.
But, we still encourage people to attend festivals if this is their first time learning about breweries.
