Cincinnati Beer

I found it interesting that most of the beer is from Cincinnati, but most of the food is from Columbus

Pros

• More shade was nice
• Next to govt square for easy bus rides or streetcar to the site
• Plenty of great local beer choices plus plenty of Sam Adams booths

Cons

• Still feels way more cramped on 5th
• Lines were very long and ran into each other on 5th and thus you couldn't even get through- so you could go on the sidewalk but then couldn't see what the booths were anyhow
• More disruption to traffic compared to 2nd/3rd

Overall I thought it was fine. I wasn't as opposed to the new location as I thought I might be. I still prefer 2nd/3rd overall even with the sun just because there is a lot more space and the booths seem way more manageable. I do think this location could work better though if they just used the side streets more. They mainly seemed for portapotties but you could really expand better out I feel like.

It just feels like a festival that has grown to take in more than half a million people could use some more space than we give it.
