Beervana Fest (2021), Cranston, RI

Hadn't seen a thread since 2018(!). I'll start it up, am probably overly excited just due to it being my first beer event in 2 years. October 15th. Looks like a nice list of breweries: https://beervanafest.com/breweries....Gp9ThfhMm3XojQJCvVaf9X1AktUpT5ASQIMdsR3CEEArk

Plenty of first-timers, offhand I think 3 Floyds, Drowned Lands, New Park and Vitamin Sea are all new.

 

Well, I'll follow up to say it was a great time! Was a little late to arrive in order to treat our DD to pizza at Fellini's down the street beforehand per usual. But due to the ABV of a lot of options, 3 hours instead of 3.5 is plenty.

Each of the newcomers I mentioned above brought some nice options. Had a mojito-inspired beer from 3 Floyds, Tilia triple foeder IPA from Drowned Lands, Cloud 9 DIPA from New Park, and a fruited sour from Vitamin Sea. So many other standouts to even mention, but I was going through Long Live Beerworks' line all night long, hit Mornin' Delight from TG, and Deciduous had a fruited sour my wife did laps for over a 20-minute period!

 

Yes that was the one. Far from a traditional sour (OEC and Allagash brought some great ones in that respect), but certainly as far as a fruited beer it was outstanding.
