Heading to the Great American Beer Festival

Yes I know that I have been neglecting the blog. I am just swamped with ramping up the new business for 2010. I am heading out the door to attend my first Great American Beer Festival. I will report back with photos.

Before I go, I wanted to let you all know that there are a few new beers on the shelves. The first one is Terrapin Depth Charge, which is a collaborative beer between Terrapin (Athens GA) and Left Hand (Colorado). It is a blend of the Left Hand Milk Stout and Terrapin Wake and Bake Coffee Oatmeal Stout. Folks, this is a great beer if you love stouts. Grab one while you can.

Stone Vertical Epic 090909 has also hit the shelves. I bought mine at Midtown Wine and Spirits, but I had to ask for it (they keep it in the back with a two bottle limit). This series is collectible, so hurry before they are gone. If you want my opinion, I thought this year's version is underwhelming. Gotta run!

My Sob Story- Can Anyone Help Me Out?

Sorry for my hiatus. I am been working many hours trying to build up my new business. I logged into Facebook this morning and found out some devastating news. I no longer have tickets to the Great American Beer Festival in Denver. It's a long story, but my friend and I were told that we were set. The problem now is that all sessions are sold out. I have been planning this trip for over a year, and my travel arrangements are made.

If any of you beer aficionados know ANYONE who has extras, I will pay face value and any service charges. I am looking for two tickets, preferably to the Saturday afternoon session. Thanks!
