Beerfest Recap

This past Saturday, I attended San Francisco's Beerfest at Fort Mason for the second time. As always, the beer poured endlessly for three hours, the crowds were drunken, the random cheers continued to roar, and everyone had a pretty awesome time.


One surprise of the evening was the Sierra Nevada guy remembering me and my friend, Kim, from last year. Not only did he hook us up again with t-shirts, but he also snuck us a few (six to be exact) additional bottled beers after the festival was over. Did I mention that he remembered my full name? Yeah, a little bit creepy and stalkerish.

The two downfalls I noticed from the festivities this year were the lack of food and claustrophobic shoulder to shoulder crowds. I'm not sure if it's because I was definitely slightly more sober and aware at Beerfest this year and noticed these two minor mishaps, or if I am accurately depicting the difference in a subpar crowd and lack of food.


Would I go again? Most definitely! Who can say no to three hours of tasting 100's of different beers, [maybe] tasting a few appetizers from local SF joints, and enjoying the craziness my friends and I create. Cheers and drink up!
