The porterfestival is an annual event held every fall.
Being a fan of stouts this event is perfect for my buds! Lots of international breweries are invited and some of them even serve their brew on taps. Otherwise it is mostly bottles.
There are a few eating stations - some of them sold out long before closing time.
I like the festival but they can make a lot of improvements around entrance and opening. We stood for 40 minutes in line. The doors opened at 11.30 and still at 12.30 the line was horrible. Around 13.00 those with tickets for the seminar at 13.00 were told to step forward. Lobby was crowded and hotel guests didn't know if they were to line up or could step right in.
It was prepaid tickets only, but they did the checking with pen and paper.
No coat check but you can leave your coats unattended. read more
