What to expect<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
\n
\n

First of all, this is a craft beer and home brew event, so you can expect lots of both! The Big Thirsty Hospitality room<\/a> will be running Saturday afternoon, giving you a chance to sample a rotating selection of local commercial beers. The event also features two pub crawl bus options, a Beer and Food pairing banquet, along with some exciting technical speakers. <\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

On Saturday evening, the Bluebonnet awards ceremony will reveal the winners of the largest volunteer-run homebrew competition in the country, and then area home brew teams will begin offering their wares to sample and vote on in the People’s Choice homebrew expo<\/a>, our marquee event. Some of the best home brewers in the region will be pouring beers in hopes of bringing in the top prize for their club. We’ll also have talks<\/a> by our keynote presenter, and several other technical talks still being worked out. If you’ve ever considered making your own beer, this is where you come to find out how!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Event tickets are available though the Event Tickets<\/a> page, and a limited number of VIP tickets<\/a> are also available for extra goodies and privileges.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
