Philly Beer Week: After-action report

I'd like to know: what is your evaluation of Philly Beer Week?
Were there enough events? Too many events? Did you expect events that you didn't see: maybe breweries or venues missing, types of events, pet ideas you have?

How about event pricing: too high, about right? Did you prefer ticketed events so you know how much you were spending going in, or the pay-as-you-go events?

Was there enough publicity, early enough to plan your trip, or was it hard to find out what was going on?

Did any of you travel more than 50 miles? Did you stay over? Would you do it again next year?

Did Philly show you a good time? Were people friendly, was the food good, was the beer excellent?

What can we do better next year? What should we drop, and not do next year?

Please feel free to either comment or e-mail me with responses.

Thanks to everyone who came out for these events, and who helped make this very first Philly Beer Week such a success!
