Yes, I know, I've slacked for a few days. I've been meaning to write about last weekends brewfest and just haven't gotten around to it yet. Well now's the time folks.
Kelly and I ran down last Saturday and met up with our good friends Ghost Dog (seen to the left) and his wonderful wife. We hung out with them for a few hours and had a great time sampling beers.
I had some pretty tasty beers too, here's a quick recap: Bell's Brewery 'Hell Hath No Fury… Ale', tasty, dark and rich. Dick's Brewing Co. 'Dick's Best Bitter', pretty good, nice hop to malt balance. McMenamins Concordia Brewery 'White Lightning Whisky Stout', strong and malty. Big Sky Brewing Co 'Summer Honey', nice light summer beer, very tasty. Anderson Valley Brewing Co 'Summer Solstice Cerveza Crema', one of the better ones I tried, nice and smooth and while light it had a nice malty flavor.
The place was nuts (as always) though it seemed even more packed than it was last year. Maybe it was just me. However, while Kelly and I were there (from about 2pm until 5pm) everybody there were friendly and courteous. It was a good time overall. Kelly and I however left because we were finished dealing with the crowd, headed to the Shanghai Tunnel for some quiet and some food, and later hopped the bus back to our part of town and spent a bit of time at Binks. Good day, and a lot of fun.

So glad you guys came out! Beck and I were talking about volunteering next year…hehe…
We were very glad you two were still there when we arrived. Had a great time hanging out, getting a bit ‘fuzzy’ with you both. Hooray for beer! 🙂
