We have a fun time yesterday at the Boulder Craft Beer Festival. It was the second year, and while they had expanded the offerings a lot (20+ local craft breweries), it felt a bit better organized. We didn't have any torrential rain as interrupted last year, but it wasn't too hot.
We arrived a bit before 1 (when the plebes like us got to go in), and the line was about 15 minutes long. The festival was sold out, though, and by the time we had gotten through the line, the queue was twice as long.
Inside, starting off the queues to the tents were short — sometimes too short to finish your sampler before getting to the front of the next line. Things lengthened quite a bit by the end of the day, which still didn't turn out too badly — time enough to enjoy (or not) the sample, to chit-chat a bit, and digest.
We wrapped up (with a meal break) after not too many hours, pleasantly full and mellow. We adjourned (Jackie being along as our Designated Driver) back to Pedzwell, where we lounged around a bit, then headed off.
Altogether, a nice way to spend a Saturday.
