GABF

GABF 2011. What a great time on a Thursday night in late September. This event sold out in less than a week!! Had a blast with Megan and was able to try many top notch brews! Stuff that might be too expensive, seasonal, rare or hard to get or just something worth trying.

Had my fair fills of Abyss '11. Maybe 3? Heck there was no line, and it's easily one of my favorite brews. Was very impressed with Cigar City out of Florida, Ballast and Alesmith from Cali, Short's in Michigan (very unique styles), Troegs in PA, and Olde Hickory from N. Carolina.

Favorite tastes: Hunahpu's, Sculpin, The Event Horizon, Black OPs, Goose Island BCBCS, Knuckle Sandwich, and BORIS.
Honorable mention: Victory at Sea, Double Simcoe, Flower Power, Armored Fist, Oil of Aphrodite, Duck Rabbit Barleywine, Alesmith Wee Heavy
Had many other great beers!!!! Then also missed many, to many for 4 hours!! After awhile your sense of taste just isn't the same anyway.

Had the opportunity to get a photo with Sam from Dogfish Head and also with the owner of Alesmith Brewery out of San Diego who Beer Advocate ranked the #1 brewery in the US.
