★ Events: Hill Farmstead Festival of Farmhouse Ales 2017
Photos as always. Enjoy! \ Night Cap:
★ Events: Zwanze Day 2017 @ Dieu Du Ciel, Montreal QC
This year’s Zwanze Beer was good, it wasn’t great. I’m always pretty disappointed with the Zwanze beer and then I’ll have it from the bottle a year later and it’s just much better. I think time + bottle conditioning always help the Zwanze beers come alive. Since Hill Farmstead did not host an event this …
★ Events: CBC Boston 2016
Since professional cameras weren’t allowed at CBC until Mikkel changed the rule and reached out to me, I had already packed the Canon S110 pocket camera to take to CBC Boston last weekend. His note came too late but the photos were decent. Low-light is awful with the S110, almost no depth of field, colors …
★ Events: Hill Farmstead’s Festival of Farmhouse Ales, 2016
I just noticed the photos I took last month weren’t posted here. Sorry about that. Here they are! I was lucky enough to be asked to pour-beer this year. I always volunteer but pouring is usually reserved for brewers. I was at the Casey booth and had a blast!
★ Events: Ratebeer Summer Gathering 2016, Pittsburgh PA

I had my doubts about Pittsburgh and while I might talk more about those breweries in a separate post, I took a few photos that I thought were worth sharing …
★ Goose Island Rare-Day 2015 & Bourbon County Variants – Chicago, IL
★ Travel: Photos from Goose Island’s 2015 BCS “Rare Day” in Chicago
While I’ll have a better and more appropriate write-up on this in a day or two, photos from the event are now on my photo site. Please click here to check them out.
★ Events: Sausage Fest 2015 in Albany
I finally decided it was overdue that I attend this event. Hosted by Fuj, the Sausage Fest is a beer event without a focus on beer. Most people in attendance know their beers, are traders or go to beer events but they’re not here to rate, tick or open rare beers. It’s an event for friends …
★ Events: Cantillon Zwanze 2015 at Hill Farmstead Brewery, Greensboro, VT
Another year, another fantastic Zwanze hosted by the crew at Hill Farmstead. Zwanze (the beer) was a bit different but that’s not what is important. It’s not about the beer. it’s bringing all of us jokesters together to celebrate a fun day simultaneously as the same beer is tapped all over the world. Within 4 …
