I was wondering about the Broo'ers Festival. The Last two years I have been to Roo I have walked up to the tent and have not partaken. Oh wise ones tell me tales of this Beer heaven. What are the prices like? What types of brew do they have?
Im from oregon and Im hoping there is some Rogue beer there. If you havent had any do yourself a favor and find some, they make a great line of beers. Whats even better is the location of their brewery. Right on the bay in Newport, ORegon, freaking beautiful.
What are the prices like? What types of brew do they have?
It's a ticket system like a beer fest. I think I recall $6 for 1 beer or 3 samples (the samples actually get you more beer per ticket). Most breweries I recall from last year were east coast micros - Magic Hat, Starr Hill, Sweetwater, Brooklyn - with a few west coast ones - Sierra Nevada and Flying dog come to mind. Great for us from the west to sample east coast beers we can't get. Def. worth a stop if you love beer.
John: We don't even understand our own music Spider: It doesn't, does it matter whether we understand it? At least it'll give us . . . strength John: I know but maybe we could get into it more if we understood it
Broo'ers tent is my favorite place on Thursday. It is still clean and not overly packed. We always buy $25 in tickets and walk table to table trying all the beers. My favorites always include Magic Hat No.9, Magic Hat Circus Boy, Dales Pale Ale and Sweetwater 420. These are all beers I can not buy locally and I always look forward to enjoying them. Thursday is always my drunk night at the farm.

i tried the SW420 over memeorial day...mMMMmMmMMmMmMmMmM.....
Rogue beers are great, yet pricey. But, you get what you pay for.
Hey man around Christmas and New Years every year rogue has a crazy sale. You can get cases of the stuff for like a dollar a bottle and sometimes they even have growlers (64 ounce old water jug/moon shine jug looking thing) for 4 bucks. Me and my friends stumbled upon this one year when we were camping and you should of seen it, a freaking blood bath the rest of the weekend. Only someone who has had rogue would understand.

Gah, this is the one thing that has been missing my roo experience. Sadly, I'm just on the cusp of turning 21, and so I'm not able to partake...unless....how strict are they about carding? I'll be 21 in less than a year, and thus I think I can probably pass. How good are my chances of being able to sample some tasty brews at Roo this year?
we usually wander though to try and sample brews we can't get locally. good beers, but a little pricey. some servers can be more generous than others...

Last year they did have 3 Rogues! They had the Shakespeare Stout, the Juniper Pale Ale and umm....oh the Hazelnut Brown Nectar.
coming completely from memory they also had:
Sweetwater: Blue, Hummer, 420 Magic Hat: #9 Sierra Nevada: Pale Ale Starr Hill: Love, Jomo, and maaaybe the Amber Asheville: Mars Zen Oskarr Blues: Dale's Pale Ale
maybe some more. Those are the only ones I rememeber having, off the top of my head.
I'd really like to see us get some Dogfish Head or Three Floyds.
mmm, I can't wait for a Magic Hat. my favorite American beer.
^^this. But I live in New England, so I can get it at any liquor store - I'm looking forward to trying out some beers I can't get up here.
ditto to both of these -- absolutely love magic hat #9 and circus boy, but since I too live in massachusetts, looking forward to trying this sweetwater that everyone is raving about.

There are some damn fine libations from Rogue. It's sold nearly everywhere in Central NY. Great stuff.
Im very proud to see some rogue fans, i wasnt sure if you could get it on the east coast. Im having withdrawls being in Indianapolis, good thing my buddies are coming in from oregon.

I will attest to this. I stumbled in there about 11 one night with my girlfriend and there was next to no one in there. All I'll say is we got lucky and cut out the middle man (ticket booth) and things definitely got cheaper. But even at regular prices they were well worth it, very tasty brews.
My first stop once inside the gate is the Brooklyn stand. Brown Ale. Ohhh. I love Brooklyn.
Tere was recently a fire (last week I think) at a brewery in upstate NY that does alot of brewing for B'klyn and Saranac. Hopefully this won't have any adverse effect.

I think you may be looking in the wrong places. I can't remember getting it anywhere in Indy(I was only there 4 months) but I know you can get Dead Guy Ale in Muncie and down south near Louisville. Look deeper and you just might find it... ;D

Im hearing different things here about prices. How much should I look at spending? i love my beer so this will be no problem. All these different types of beer sound really yummy. I've been enjoying a bunch of imports lately so I am looking forward to the micros.
just finished a hocus pocus, probably the best beer i have tasted. 
Hopefully this won't have any adverse effect.
