11th Annual World Beer Festival in Durham, NC
134 different breweries Over 300 different beers Live music and food.
Four hours of sampling. Fun!
Favorites: New Holland Brewing Co. Dragons Milk Belgium Stout, New South IPA (nitrogen), Dogfish Head Craft Brewery 90 minute IPA, Kuhnhenn Brewery Creme Brulee Java Stout, and Natty Greene's Double IPA. There were others, but I lost my list. Some breweries had some 'secret' samples that Jim and other home brewers knew about. These were beyond exceptional. People were great, atmosphere fantastic, weather.....didn't matter.
