Beer Summit!!

[ricka182]

YES!!! FINALLY!!! I wait for this event ever so impatiently each year, because it's one of my favorites!! The Boston Beer Summit officially starts tonight with session one. Sessions 2 & 3 are tomorrow from 12-4, and session three from 5-9...This year there will be 66 brewers, and probably over 175 beers from around the world! Of course, they'll also be some good food to help keep all that beer from instant absorption(bread, bread, pretzels and brats), and the obligatory charity box for a sample of something special...sometimes Utopias, sometimes just whatever else they have to offer, sometimes nothing, as it does go to charity....there will also be some form of live music......below is a list of the brewers attending...I'd like to say I'll have some reviews, but I think I may be slightly too inebriated to take notes. Of course, if there is something that really stands out, I'llbe sure to report on it....
