    Congrats on securing the venue, the beers, and putting it together. Can't say I am enough of a sour fan to drop that dough. I'm guessing 148 others will though. I'll be looking forward to the reviews and posts about what we missed lol

    Had a berliner weisse at 'famed' az wilderness last year that threw my mouth in the gutter. I did give SF kriek a fair chance and liked it.. The most extreme my taste buds seems to want to go with this sour style is Gose. I just love AVBC Blood Orange Gose. I initially tried Westbrook Gose and liked it (oddly enough I dont know why). Apparently La Cumbre brewed one last year. I had no idea.

    Solid list of beers. Any info on ABV, acid level (tartness level) etc., or descriptions in general?

    I won't say no just yet.

    I should be able to make it and am letting some non BA's in Abq know about it as well. Thanks for putting this together!

    Awesome! Thanks for coming! We do have a few hard copy tickets left at Kelly Liquors on Juan Tabo, Jubilation and Sister Bar. Less than 10 left at each spot and I just had someone call for more, so if you know anyone else that needs one tell them to act fast!!!
    Cheers! See you all there!

    Wow, I'm pleasantly surprised, especially as there is some craft beer and food truck thing at Balloon Fiesta on Sat as well. See you there!

    @shuntstout It was a great event. Plenty of beer for all and generous pours. Definitely what I want out of a beer fest and clearly what happens when people that love beer spearhead the organization effort.

    It was nice to meet a couple of BAs @kingjohnh and beersandboards (I can't find his BA name), as well as hang with the homies @gyoungit and @aaronyoung01 .

    There was a good crowd too, mostly cool people.

    Again, well done Kevin. Let's hope this is the first of many dope festivals.

    It was a great time for sure, good to meet some NM BAs. Thanks to @shuntstout and everyone else who put it together. I definitely got my $$$s worth.

    @Beerandboards I was typing "beers," thus why I couldn't find your name. Sorry about that.

    @shuntstout one thing I will say. I was a little disappointed in New Belgium for not bringing an exclusive keg as had been promised. Can you give them some shit for that and maybe they'll send us something nice for ABQ Beer Week to make up for it?

    Definitely agree it was a great event and thanks to Kevin for organizing it. It was great to meet some of the NM BA's and looking forward to the next fest.

    Thanks everyone for coming out, I definitely gave the New Belgium guy some shit for that, was pretty upset that all we got was a shelf beer from them. Next time ill wait to mention what will be their until I have full conformation. Hope everyone enjoyed, I know I did!!! Can't wait for the next one.
    Cheers!
