The Great American Beer Fest

After spending the morning and early afternoon out and about, we headed back to the house to relax and make pretzel necklaces in preparation for The Great American Beer Fest.

There were 580 Breweries and 2500+ beers at this years festival.  The tickets sold out in a record 45 minutes.  Last year tickets sold out in a week.  We are still not sure how Chris managed to get 4 tickets during that time.  We are glad he did.

Erica was diligent in keeping good records of what breweries we stopped at and what beers we tried.  At first count, it looks like we tasted over 50 beers.  The pretzel necklaces were a life saver with all of the high ABV beers.
