Let me report back to you all. It was a great evening.
Nice weather, and really well laid out I thought. Most of the breweries brought two or three beers with them. One that stood out in my mind was Allagash Grand Cru. I did not catch all of what the lady had told me about it (I had drank a bit by that point) but I do know she said it was a seasonal beer with orange and coriander. It was amazingly smooth, and really hit the spot.
Most of the pours were only a couple ounces (they gave use cool mugs). But, when I was in the Victory line, the attendant must have overheard me raving to someone else about their IPA, so when I got up to the front he poured me a full glass. Man, that Hopdevil NEVER gets old.
I also had:
Flying Dog Pale Ale
Flying Dog Hefe
Hops Amber Ale
Belhaven Scotch Ale
Youngs Double Choc
Clipper City Rasp Hefe (It is not Clipper, but they were at the same stand and I forget who made it)
All in all a nice evening with good food and better beer.
