Holy shit, they are not kidding with this lineup.
Bad Religion and Pennywise are worth $54.99 per person for general admission (plus fees), unless the fee’s are a code for something sinister? But even if it is, it is still worth it. Because you have Face to Face., Strung Out, The Casualties, the Adolescents, Guttermouth, Manic Hispanic, Catbite, The Dwarves, Cigar, The Last Gang, and The Implants So far, I heard they are also going to announce more bands closer to April.

(plus fees, of course) Oh, those goddamn fees again. I am not worried; I will make up for it in tiny beers.
With VIP, you can attend the unlimited tiny craft beer tasting for just a $15 add-on. BIG MISTAKE, BREW HA HA!

VIP includes all GA stuff, plus a slick commemorative VIP laminate, letting the ladies know that you probably have a job. There are also exclusive viewing areas, better bathrooms, and access to VIP-only lounges with air conditioning away from the riffraff.
Actually, it’s where the real riffraff hangs out, and the line for beer is short.

And let me tell you something else I like about Brew Ha Ha—they have excellent taste in picking food vendors. There’s a reason the In Spite Magazine family keeps showing up at events like Punk in the Park and Punk in Drublic. We love beer, food, and punk rock.
Brew Ha Ha never seems to disappoint.

Speaking of family, those under 18 must be accompanied by a responsible adult. Since I don’t meet that criteria,
I’ll be leaving the grandbabies at home for this one!

Beer tasting happens early in the day, from 12pm to 3pm. Please drink as responsibly as possible—those tiny beers go down quick and easy, and before you know it, you're wasted, shirtless, lying in a puddle by the porta-potty, semi-conscious, and your significant other is yelling at you because you said you’d be the responsible adult.
