Did anyone make it down there? I couldn't go, but damn, I wish I could have. Any highlights or stand-out beers from the event?

Sorry to respond so late, but I really liked the Hanssen's Kriek. Another favorite was Green Flash Super Freak which I think people seemed to not like, but I thought it was cool being a sour hoppy belgian pale ale... I mean, where else are you going to get that?
Oh yeah, the Lost Abbey Sinner's Blend was awesome too... it was like dark rich beer meet Red Poppy.
I read your post on the Sour Fest, it sounded great. Kriek is something I'd really like to try more of. It seems like there are a ton of framboises out there, but I hardly ever see any good krieks on the shelves besides Lindemans. Guess I need to hang out in San Diego more often.
I would love to try more sour stuff from Lost Abbey. I think I tried their Amazing Grace, I really enjoyed that.
Super Freak sounds interesting. Can't believe I didn't go to this festival. The lineup looked amazing. For the most part, I've only tried sour beers from the bottle. You don't see much on taps around here, I'm sure it makes a big difference. Nor on cask, I bet that would be amazing. The occasional Jolly Pumpkin cask makes its way to Naja's or Beechwood BBQ, but I've never had a chance to try it.
