Hi Harlan,
Sorry about the mix-up with the brewery tickets. When a brewery registers for the GABF they are given a certain number of brewery passes and it is up to the brewery to decide what to do with them. None of those brewery passes is designated as a Pro-Am pass, this is a decision the brewery has to make regarding how they distribute their brewery passes. In the past, I have seen some breweries that share one or two brewery passes among 2 or 3 people over the course of the festival.
In any event, we have spoken about your problem and have found a solution.
Good luck in the competition!
Cheers,
Janis
