Great time as always, please consider hosting two different times. We enjoyed the 1pm session better in the past. Thanks

Fun filled afternoon. There was no waiting quick entry. Many many great beers. Lots of wonderful people. Servers were all happy and fun. Willing to give you any information you wanted to know about their beers.
Some great vendors there. The bundtcakes were delicious. The beef jerky man had many good flavors of beef jerky. Hot and spicy was my favorite.
Perfect location too!
Definitely would go again!
