I went to Urban Chestnut's Wolpertinger yesterday. At any beer festival, they give you a tasting glass, and then it's an all-you-can-drink buffet of craft beer for 5-6 hours. They always happen in the daytime, and it's all about finding great new beers. Everyone there is there to drink and have a good time, and the crowd is the most laid back group of people you'll ever find.
Beer festivals are the [expletive] cat's ass.

Re: Rave: Beer Festivals
can't tell you how many times I've seen these on a calendar, and wanted to go - but I've never made it. With having a kid -the daytime thing does us in.
Oddly though, Last year, at least 3 different days though we managed to tour breweries and visit on weekdays -getaways with Mrs. Freed.
People are real friendly, and only kindred spirits are found. Free beers. I almost have my wife convinced, that this going from brewery to brewery is a vacation.
