I went to Brew Fest in Woodruff Park in downtown Atlanta with my roommate, Scott. We got there around 2:30. The Will-Call line was ridiculous. So the first 45 minutes of the Beer Fest we stood in line in blazing heat watching people enjoy cold beer through a chain link fence.

We finally got in. Niiiiice. I decided to start safe so e stopped by the Flying Dog booth. I got the hefeweizen to quench the burning demon in my belly. Scott, who is still learning the finer points of drinking beer, decided to start with a “Double Pale Ale” as he (and Flying Dog) called it. It was actually a Double IPA – and Scott doesn’t even like regular IPAs. Hilarious. Way to start off easy, Scott.

That’s me, the sexy one on the right. Cool shades, me. This pic was taken a few beers in, hence the inappropriate touching from Scott. My personal faves from the event were the Lagunitas Lucky 13, Highland Oatmeal Porter, Red Hook Blonde Ale… To be honest, there was a fairly weak showing of good micros. Still, a good time. I also have a new-found respect for Lagunitas. They were the only booth to wash out our glasses with water before pouring. Yes, it’s the little things that I respect. That’s why I respect Scott so much.
