It's that time of beer, er, year.
For some history on the event.
Went to Calgary's Oktoberfest event Friday evening, it was kind of a beer tasting event. Found it very expensive. $15 for Stampede Ground parking, $25 to get in the event (along with a 4oz plastic taster glass), tickets only in books of 10 for $10, anywhere from one to 3 tickets (most were 2) per 4 oz sample. Pretty easy to blow $60 or more on the evening.
This as opposed to a couple of beer tastings I attended in Montana this summer where the parking was free, the early gate access was $30, a 7oz taster glass was issued & unlimited tasting. Attended two others in Montana this summer, parking was free, paid extra for early access ($25) and a 7oz taster glass, beer tickets were a buck each, and all samples were only a buck each.
At all 4 Montana tastings there were also far more breweries & samples. Never less than 30 breweries, never less than 70 beers. And, the overall quality & selection of beers is far better at the Montana events.
