First we started off at the field where all the food vendors and bathrooms are. There are tons of games like beer pong, pool, bag toss, etc. We made sure to take some time between drinks and enjoy the activities. The girls from Dos Equis pointed out a girl that was so drunk she fell out of a port-o-potty so we made sure we didn’t get to that level.

The beers I tried were:

1. Cream Ale
2. Four Peaks Pitchfork
3. Bitch Creek
4. Avery IPA
5. BeerBakers
6. Dales Pale Ale
7. Santa Fe Pale Ale
8. Guiness

Not all the beers I tried were new. We had a group of 3 and we each tasted eachothers to get the largest variety possible. My favorite was probably Four Peaks Pitchfork and Bitch Creek. Four Peaks Pitchfork was very drinkable and tasted like a mix of their 8th Street Ale and the Raj IPA. Bitch Creek was a very well balanced ESB.

We’ll see you at the next event!
