The Official 2007 GABF Thread

I volunteered at the festival.

It was an amazing time. This was the first year I volunteered and it was totally worth it. I poured Friday night and Saturday afternoon. We went for free on Saturday night. I'm so glad we were there the night before and the Saturday afternoon session. Saturday night was a cluster**** and a lot of stuff was out. (It was funny to notice the age/attitude differences between the two nights...and I'm the the Saturday night age group) But, we got to taste pretty much everything that we had missed in the previous sessions. The whole volunteering thing allowed us to get a lot more in and enjoy the beers much more than trying to taste everything in 4 hours. It's a great deal for all of you guys who don't wanna spend the dough on tickets. You get to sample just as much when you are "working" as when you're there on your own! Plus, you get much more opportunity to BS with the brewers.

How did you volunteer? I was a volunteer at the Fort Collins Brewfest this summer and would love to do it at GABF if I still live in CO next year.:rockin:
