Seattle International Beer Fest(ival)

who likes beer? i found out that i like most beer or beer-like substances, including, but not limited to mead.

my better half and i decided to take in this once-a-year hopfest in the hopes of finding some very good beer. i think, with the exception of one beer, we were overly satisfied - yes, J.W. Lee, your harvest ale is disgusting, very much akin to drinking dish soap. i'm not lying.

a nice day to have enough beer to catch a buzz, at least by the weather's standards. the prison, er gates, were bulging with people (and yes, pets) and the atmosphere was a solid 8. not a lot of food choices, but when i finally needed the hotdog to soak up some of the bier, i was able to find one without a problem. the festival had live bands throughout the day, but i enjoyed the music the most when they were playing old sublime over the speakers (don't quit your day jobs, bands).

i think it can best be summarized as this: if we were able to go to portland we would. as it stands, that probably won't happen. this has left such a positive impression that we will not be missing this event again. and we'll take a cab
