1) Camp out near the BX beer depot tent. The lines for homebrew are shorter and they will help keep your little cup full. If you haven’t tried homebrew you will be pleasantly surprised bow much you like it.

2) Always ask what they have in the back. The booths wont offer you the aged 120 minute or other rare beer. You need to ask.

3) Don’t miss Cigar City. They are hands down the best brewery in Florida.

4) Ask a stranger for a recommendation. Beer is a social animal, most people will be more than happy to help you break out of your shell.

5) Arrive early. We were only able to get two passes for the event. I am currently 1098th in line.
