Some thoughts on Saturday's Belgian Beer-Fest

I went to the day session.

-Getting in was a breeze. Everyone was in the door in like 20 minutes tops. Absolutely awesome.

-Not grossly oversold. This was amazing. Most beer fests I have been to people are packed in and/or the lines for beers are miles long. Not at this one. The longest we had to wait for a beer was probably 3 minutes, and that was a rare occurence. Also, no lines for food and no lines for the bathroom. Absolutely phenomenal.

-The "pigs in a blanket" with homemade mustard were worth the price of admission!

-All the people pouring beers were mad chill. The dude from CBC was talking to me all about the Gruit that they had, he was a cool dude.

-Most importantly...the beers were great. So many awesome Saisons, Dubbels and Quads! Wonderful brews from wonderful breweries. My favorite was actually a beer I thought I was going to hate which was the Stone Belgo-Anise RIS. My other favorite was the one I grabbed from CBC (I think it was a Dubbel or a quad) it was excellent.

PS: Awesome to see that staff and and pourers were enjoying the beers as well. Felt more like a house party than a beer-fest.
