\"Belgium<\/a><\/p>\n

My third year attending this festival was definitely the best one ever but usually I say that because of the awesome time I have after the event ends and we stay up late drinking incredible beers with friends. The regulars I hang out with were all at Hill Farmstead for another festival so I went with some local friends who all went to sleep around 9PM on Saturday due to a lack of pacing themselves. I managed to find some others to hang with but honestly the whole weekend was a blast despite the shift in my regular beer festival dynamics.<\/p>\n

Most importantly, I managed to rate 110 beers (maybe a few more once I go through my notes). I\u2019m dreading going through all of those beers and adding them to RateBeer. It\u2019s a lot to process.<\/p>\n

Here are a few photos and I hope to go again next year.<\/p>\n
