There were some tackle displays, some good food from Legal Seafoods and other vendors, brewery tours, and a chance to hang and talk to people from as far away as NJ who I've met in one way or another over the years. It's only a beer blast if you want it to be one--your golden ticket only gets you one beer

But the beers are reasonably priced if you want to indulge.
Quite honestly, though--I wouldn't spend close to $140 in ferry fares and drive another 70 miles each way for it. Even for that German oom-pah band
