Right on man. I am going to keep my eyes open. I have only been to Georgetown one time. Pretty much everything there was delicious. Mannys even tasted better there and we liked the auto cleaning/filling machines they made for their growlers. Nifty stuff |

Georgetown is great, one of my Sasquatch friends (some of you probably met her, she's like 5'1") is good friends with Manny himself. We got eight growlers from there for Sasquatch, and the five of us finished them Thursday night. Whoops!

They need to peg down a few really stellar year-round offerings before they continue on with all of these bizarre "12 beers of the apocalypse" type gimmicks that they keep coming up with. Like I said though, their pumpkin ales are fucking fantastic. I look forward to those every single fall. |

Yeah, they also do those collaborations with New Belgium. I can't stand those either

Fat Tire is one of the worst beers ever made. Yes, that is a hyperbolic statement, but that's just how I like to describe it.

I even have a hard time with the much loved Ranger I.P.A. (at least in my friend circle). I heard that the head honchos at Elysian and New Belgium are romantic so that is where the collabs started.

I'm pretty sure we had a case of that at Sasquatch this year and it thought it was decent. Then again 75% of the beers I drank that weekend were High Life, Natural Ice (for shotgunning only) Ranier. Any beer that comes from a bottle after that will seem good by comparison.
It was also an amber ale which is probably my favourite kind of beer.

I enjoy Boundary Bay's Amber. Next time you are in BHAM make sure and give it a try!

Holy shit. WA Brewers Fest is so fucking busy. There were people waiting to get in about an 1.5 hrs before last call. It was cool but damn. I am sure Saturday and Sunday are both going to be even busier. Get there early to enjoy smaller lines

Haha fuck. I'm just now driving home from my friend's house. Long night of amateur soccer, karaoke, and lots of booze. I can't even think about beer fest yet. That line sounds awful. Goodnight.

I love the idea of beerfests, but this has been my experience at every single one that I've been to. Stand in line to get in. Stand in line to get a wristband. Stand in line to purchase the little plastic mug. Stand in line to get a beer. Drink the beer in the hot, hot sun. Stand in another line.
It's kind of miserable.

That's cool. I like relaxing while I drink a delicious beer.
Living in Portland is a veritable year-round beerfest anyway, though, so I see no reason not to do it in the comfort of my own home. Although the the fact of the matter is that, left to my own devices, I would only ever consume one beverage anyway:
