Should be a great day out and you'll get lunch and a few drinks too so not too expensive when you factor those in.

Got my ticket in the pre sale. Looking really forward to it.

appears saucy... is the same crowd as the Octoberfest in the Beamish grounds running it ?

BeerNut

Nope. Completely run by volunteers for the love of home brewing.

BrewCon2015 was absolutely brilliant. The speakers were great and the value for money was off the chart. It was well worth the money and I felt I got far more back than what I paid to get in.
Well done to the National Homebrew Club for organising a volunteer run event for homebrewers that was like a professional conference and probably made the commercial brewers who were in attendance sit up and take notice.

I was there until just after Lunch. The talks were fantastic, really enjoyed the talk from Rory Sheils on brewhouse safety. Really well ran event and it was a shame to miss the second half of the day.

Hopefully the first of many, a bow to the organisers!

So you missed the drinks reception then. The 5 or 6 tokens were just to keep things civil in the beginning. None of the brewers wanted to bring back empty kegs and none did in the end

That I did, I had an enjoyable lunch though and donated my tokens to a few!

Had a great day myself. Really interesting talks, the homebrew safety definitely putting the fear into all of us! Already looking forward to next year.
