Been on my mind for a very long time. And I haven't officially started working yet. Though my scholarship pays me decently well, I duno if I can afford (both in terms of $$ and time) to go within these few years. Right smack in the middle of a semester isn't exactly the time to go for a holiday for post grad students. But I would definitely want to go and take a look someday. From what I know, they only allow the big breweries to supply beer for the event, much to the disgust of local small scale mircos. Also, this has become so much of a tourists event that few locals bother to join in. Seems that they have better local events to go to.
