edpaffjr.comAs mentioned earlier, we attended the Great American Beer Festival over this past weekend. This was our third time attending the festival and once again I put together a little list of must hit breweries. When we finally made it inside the festival doors we did our best to visit all of them. In addition to my own list, I also had a list of the 10 Not-to-Miss Breweries from local magazine, 5280. The nice thing about their list is that it included two beers from each with descriptions, but we later found that some of them were missing from the festival completely.
We attended the last session of the festival on Saturday evening. The nice thing about doing it this way is that you can find out which beers won medals earlier in the day’s official competition. The bad thing is that we found some of the beers were completely gone, and some breweries had completely packed up shop already. The event is still worth going to no matter what session you attend. Maybe next year I’ll consider going to Saturday afternoon’s members only session for the AHA, especially if I start brewing my own beer next year.
