Belgian Beer Fest


The Boston Belgian Beer Fest was fun, but we didn't get to enjoy it to it's full potential. Since my brother had to work until 5 we didn't get to leave until close to 6 which is when the second session started. By the time we drove up to Boston and found a spot to park it was almost 8. Then we find out that they're at capacity and can't let people in even you've already bought tickets. Apparently their only plan at that point was to have us stand in a line and wait as people came out smoked cigarettes and went back in. After about half an hour they started letting people in. I also heard someone come out and tell the guys working the door that they should ask people that came out if they were leaving, and to take their wristbands if they were, so they could let new people in.

Once we were in we grabbed the nearest beer and then made a beeline to see our buddy from Unibroue. We also got to see Matthew from Offshore. Other than that it felt like a mad dash to get around and use up our tickets before we got cut off at 9:40. No beer came home from this event kiddies. I wish I could at least remember some of the beers I liked, but it was mostly a blur. Except for that guy in the restroom taking pictures of the ceiling.
