Great American Beer Festival

Great American Beer Festival

Today, Cedric, Becky, John, Jake and I went down to the Colorado Convention Center to help with the 2012 Great American Beer Festival. We worked two shifts and got a few breaks to taste other breweries beers. This year, I volunteered as a "Beer Geek", which was a position that was supposed to help answer questions about the breweries if the brewers weren't there.

I did some research on my brewery before hand and basically what happened was that I helped out in a completely different section in the afternoon session. The research wasn't used, so for the evening session, we all volunteered together, which was better.

Cedric took this photo with his camera phone.

I tried both; I'm glad I tried them, but I wouldn't have a full pint of either.
