lol.. i remember talking to the guys in the monk outfits. I asked them what was up with the costumes and if they were a group of brewers or something. According to them, they dressed up just for the hell of it.

This is not at the fest...but it's directly related.
Sunday morning, we met up with Summersolstice and we swapped a few bottles. He got the short end of the deal if you ask me. I only gave him 1 mead, and a bottle of still pomegranate cider.
This is:
Sweet Potato Pie Mead - Redheaded Step Child Ginger Braggot - Wet Kiss Pomegranate Mead - and Norman Cider.

Also...not to be missed is the Rabbit and Coyote brewing magnet that will be so proudly displayed on the keezer!

Great! I wish I could have been there witchu guys!

Next year!!

The Eagle has landed. All safe return.


The above are all off my phone. I'll post more from the camera, etc. later.

Wish I were there...

ps - why is Garrett sporting lederwaren?

Sometimes he wears a cape.

He was a judge on Iron Chef America, he's won how many awards, he's Garrett!...He can wear whatever the F**K he wants!

The funny thing...If it weren't for olllllo I'd have NO IDEA who he was.

I've spoken to him several times and told him he is the best dressed brewer in the industry. When he said thanks I asked him if it is because he never gets his hands dirty. He said not as dirty as he'd like to/use to. I only kid though, he's an excellent advocate of beerdom...

I was just playing. He actually gave me a personal tour of the Williamsburg brewery on my last birthday. I know some pro-brewers who don't like him, but he's always been accessible/cool with me...
