America On Tap Strategy

Ok...so...there's going to be around 250 different beers from all over the country at America On Tap Saturday afternoon at Homer-Stryker Field.  250!!!  How do you plan to get the best bang for the buck?  It's not even about getting your money's worth.  That will happen.  It's about tasting the right beers before you get too drunk.

At this point I don't have a strategy.  Do I try as many beers from the "favorite family" to get an idea of other selections that I know I'll probably like?  Or do I go completely the opposite and try beers that I normally wouldn't try and possibly find some undiscovered gems.  250 Beers!!!  Where do I start???  If you've got a strategy let me know.  Otherwise I'll just be another drunk guy at America On Tap.
