Barrels & Bites cost?

Trying to get more detail on Barrels & Bites event. Specifically, what is the cost of the alcohol/food tastings? Is it one price for unlimited tastings, or per tasting fee? Can't find info online other than admission is free with park ticket.

If it's anything like Frontier Fest (and it likely will be), they'll sell tasting cards. If I recall correctly it was around $60 for ten tastings on the card. Each tasting was an 8oz pour of beer or a snack size food item like a couple of sliders. I'm sure as it gets closer the park will publish the details.

And if it's anything like Frontier Fest, they'll have it set up where even if I buy my card in advance online, I'll still have to wait in a comically long line to retrieve it when I get to the park.

I do remember that about Frontier Fest, I had to go buy a beer before I got in the line to get our passes so I could get the beers I already paid for. It was still a good time though!

Yeah I always enjoyed it, despite some of the comical things mentioned. My favorite was after waiting in the line that Cartwright mentioned, the folks that dispatched the cards offered to check ID and give you an "over 21" wristband. The idea being that having this wristband would speed things up at the various locations when redeeming for alcohol. The problem is that each stand would still ask for ID anyway. Like, why bother wasting the time/money on the wristbands then?

We've always enjoyed events like this at parks, one year my wife and I flew down to Orlando and stayed at Epcot for a few nights for the food and wine fest. While the CP version isn't quite that good it is a fraction of the cost and much closer to home!

My wife has been wanting to stay at one of the lakeside cottages at Lighthouse Point so I ended up getting one for a few nights during this event. Figured we can hang out on the beach during the day then hit Barrels and Bites in the evening without having to drive home.

If ya see someone crawling towards the cottages in June it's not me lol
