while very, very long, the line moved rather fast [once the opening bell rang!]... here's our first peek inside. lots of peeps & #craftbeer, indeed!
can't have #craftbeer without bagpipes, it seems :D
my first #craftbeer of the evening... Kalamazoo Stout from Bell's Brewery – gotta represent the mitten :] (Michigan = Mitten)
Big Rock Chophouse Brewery – i worked here centuries ago, long before it was a brewery; no doubt, i definitely missed out!
attended the first #GABF Brewer's Studio session of the evening: “The GABF Turns 30.” learned all about the history of the #GABF (celebrating its 30th year!) from Charlie Papazian of the Brewers Association along with great stories from the legendary Jim Koch (Boston Beer Company) & Ken Grossman (Sierra Nevada Brewing Company)
more peeps & #craftbeer!!!
