Taster's Choice - It is what it is. This is the one chosen by the people!!! Each brewery will have a container for the Taster's Choice tickets. These special tickets will be sold for 25¢ or 5 for 1$. At 3:15 p.m. Some one will come around to pick them up. Please have them counted and fill in the info requested on the bag provided. In the spirit of the Friendly City, lively yet friendly competition is recommended, in fact encouraged. Anything goes which means enticements, bribes, dispensations, pronouncements of greatness, offers of... or whatever.
