There may already be a thread on this, so don't be surprised if it gets locked up.
The purveyors are actual brewers (commercial) who set space in the tent. The selection is great (even though the beer trailer selections are always fairly solid as well. Basically there are tables set up for each kind of beer you can buy, so no, it's not quite like a bar. You buy tickets upon entering the tent. I think I remember the tickets being $5 each redeemable for a 12 oz beer.
^ They sell all kinds of beer, mostly from Southeast US craft breweries, but also some others, including some Anheuser Busch "special release" stuff. They have $1 tasters and $5 pints, at least I think those are still the prices, but you have to exchange your money for tickets and then exchange the tickets for the beers. Basically each brewery has a little booth and you go up to the booth and exchange your ticket(s) for beer. They still have some good beers at the regular beer tents (last year Sweetwater Blue and 420, Magic Hat Circus Boy, Dale's, some others) but they have much more at the Brooer's Village, probably around 15 breweries. At times it can get a bit crowded, so it's hard to stop in and get a beer if you're rushing from one show to another.
They used to have a greater variety, but I think maybe because of some TN law they got rid of a lot of the higher alcohol beers.

Last year I remember there being tables for Sweetwater, Magic Hat, and Woodchuck. There were three or four others, but I forget who they were. I was stuck on #9 all weekend anyway.
o yea and how are they on id's. just asking cuz mine is a little worn in
I'm guessing they will be pretty strict this year considering that this question has been asked and answered so many times on here. Surely the TN Alcohol Control Board has noticed by now.

I may have to try a couple $1 tasters. And I'm sure I'll regret it, because I hate the taste of beer. But it would be SO nice to stumble on something I actually liked!

It was open well into 3 or 4 in the morning in the past 3 years... has excellent selection of beers... great meeting place for friends... and is an all around great place to chill and drink... even if you aren't 21
It is 1$ for a sample 6$ for a 12 oz...
However... everywhere else that vends beer in centeroo sells shitty budweiser for 6 or 6.60 a beer... when you could go to the brooers lounge and get a magic hat for the same price... which runs roughly 5 dollars in a bar anyway....
Conclusion... best place to chill at bonnaroo if you aren't at a show... and you have a good view of the which stage
I enjoyed the Dead Guy Ale. There's a bar just down the street from my house that has started importing it. I was pretty happy until I saw that they were selling it for 18 bucks a bottle
definitly gonna have to check it out. sounds like its better to just buy a few tasters tho. they just passed the free the hops bill here in alabama so i've only been able to enjoy all these craft beers fro a couple weeks now

THERE IS NOTHING BETTER TASTING THAN BEER. REPEAT. THERE IS NOTHING BETTER TASTING THAN BEER.
Have you ever tried a Lindemans Kriek? So many of my female friends cannot stomach beer, but they've all seemed to like the Kreik Alternatively, other friends who aren't huge beer fans seem to also enjoy the Magic Hat No. 9 (a discovery for me at last year's Roo...mmmmm).
However... everywhere else that vends beer in centeroo sells nutsy budweiser for 6 or 6.60 a beer... when you could go to the brooers lounge and get a magic hat for the same price... which runs roughly 5 dollars in a bar anyway....
the tickets are $2 each. 1 ticket gets a sample and 3 get a cup( i think they were 16 oz. cant remember) the beer stands last year had #9, sweetwater 420 & blue, and a few others along with bud and bud light.
