The Shop-Church Music IPA draft. Local brewery here in Tempe. Quite good.

I did a brewfest yesterday as an organizer (18 hour day) so as the day went along i sampled 450 different beers, then we had an after party at the brewery with free beer so by the time I got home I was well toasted.. I still do not like fruit beers.

One of my faves was a brute IPA that had a hoppy taste but no funky after taste.

now: A glass of SlAM's blended red with small pieces of tomatillo smoked, over pecan, b/s chicken breasts.

Looks like some embellishment here. Where were 450 beers to sample?

5 gallons of beer is just another Saturday afternoon for me... :-)

If it was KC Nano Fest and you drank something from every brewer(y), I feel sorry for your digestive system.

Ounce a piece on the 450 samplers. That's over thirty-six 12 ounce beers... before the free stuff!

I used to be able to hold my own, but not sure I could ever knock down a case and be just getting warmed up!

It's not unusual fot 100 brewers to be invited bringing 4 beers on the average. We are on year 4.

Wild West Brewfest (WWBF) which is held in Katy, West of Houston. Now in its 7th year, the festival has over 100 different brewers and 600 beers! The event that spans over an EPIC 140,000 square feet… OF BEER, includes a VIP climate-controlled tent and an outdoor patio where the VIP patrons can chill out and enjoy rare and barrel-aged beers. WWBF also boasts a game zone, sports zone, multiple beer garden tents and much more! We love these guys because not only do they serve amazing beer, but they have raised over $500,000 in the past 6 years, giving back all of their net profits to charities.

I tasted, I spilled, I spit but I tasted every last one.

You are right scary to even think about...

No home brewers but there are local brewer hobby groups that put out fine beers.

Beyond imagination.
