you can carry your beer anywhere! Plus you can usually get beer into centeroo, just pack it toward the bottom. I think I would skip coachelle just for that reason...well maybe.
Not only can you drink your beer anywhere you can do pretty much anything else anywhere you very well please.
that's how my boyfriend is; he usually drinks Guiness, so he's always disappointed with the beer selection in centeroo
The Brooers tent usually has a very nice selection of craft beers, but I don't remember seeing anything with as dark of a malt as Guiness. But yeah, the main beer vendors usually don't have much of a selection. Some of them were carrying 420 Pale Ale last year, and I was in heaven!
yeah, we tried the brooer's tent in '04, and i don't remember seeing any very dark beers; i don't think we even went in last year, though.....maybe we'll try it again this year
I think the demand for dark beers when it's 90 degrees and 100% humidity is usually pretty low, so the Brooers tent probably doesn't think it's worth taking up a tap or two for such small volume. A cold chocolate porter would be nice on a hot day, IMO!

probably true; i'm not much on dark beers at all myself (although i used to really like Sam Adams Cream Stout, and i guess it was pretty dark -- unfortunately, i can't find it anywhere anymore), but he prefers them tremendously -- he usually brings some, and luckily, there are usually vendors outside of centeroo selling Guinness......once he's had a couple of those outside centeroo, he's not very picky about drinking other kinds inside!
Off the top of my head: Sweetwater (the guys that make 420 pale ale), whoever makes Fat Tire, and, uh, I may need to check my notes. I know I partook of probably more than I should have to remember any more names...
There's a picture of the Brooers tent in the pics thread. A few of the brewery signs are visible from what I remember.
The microbrews in the Brooer's tent were yummy, though pretty expensive, if I recall - $6-7, I think. "Regular" domestic beers in Centeroo were $4-5, and outside in the campground, you could get a cold one for $2-3. We always brought at least a 6-pack into Centeroo (and for the hike in from the campground), but once you're inside, you're pretty much resigned to buying their beers.
In the pic I saw Rogue which makes some good dark beers. And the company that makes Fat Tire is New Belgian Brewing and they make some great lighter beers.
Which brewers are usually there? Micros right? I planned on bringing my own selection but if they have some good ones might as well try something new right?
I probably won't be of much help here...But i distinctly remember a New York microbrewery being there... It was either Manhattan Microbrewery? OR Brooklyn Microbrewery....
I remember them because that was the best wheat ale I've ever had.
Also a micro brewery thats makes tortoise beer? or a turtle beer? Can't remember.
Dude, just bring beer and read some of the advice in this forum about keeping ice frozen and your beer nice and icy. It's not like they're charging you $4.00 for every beer you drink -- just when you're drinking in Centeroo, which you should be able to slip a few beers into if you're sly enough anyway. It's really not too difficult of a situation man!

I like to do my beer drinking in the camp grounds. There is always someone selling beer to make a buck or two(and the variety is better too)
The variety is the best part, because people bring their regional beers that some can only get when on vacation, or visiting that particular area. Being from Chicago, I personally love that i can enjoy a Fat Tire, a Yuengling or just a damn Old Style.
