Dedicated to the advancement of beer enjoyment

Did you go to the Erie Micro Brew Fest?

I went (and poured some Rye PA) and I thought it was a great event. The BrewErie at Union Station was PACKED with beer enthusiasts. Like, concert packed.

This really is an awesome summer event that I am certain will continue to grow each year. The vendor staff members were exceptionally fun, friendly and knowledgeable about their products so it was also quite educational if you are just starting to enjoy craft beers. There were beers for novice, intermediate and advanced beer enthusiasts to enjoy. So looking forward to next year's event.

This was the 26th annual event and from one until six on a beautiful August afternoon we did our best to sample everything available from more than 140 craft brewers from all over the Midwest. Many great beers with a lot of variations on rye and a tent dedicated to cask conditioned ales. My most memorable was the "Morning Delight" which was referred to as a breakfast stout by the brewer Toppling Goliath from Iowa.

NOONE RAN OUT BEFORE THE TIME WAS OVER (WHICH IS ALWAYS A POSSIBILITY WITH THE LATE SESSION) SO THAT IS A DEFINATE PLUS. THE BREWERS AND THEIR STAFF WERE VERY FRIENDLY AND ACCOMODATING REGARDING ANY QUESTIONS. THE HOME BREWERS WERE VERY ACCOMODATING AS WELL AND IT WAS FUN TO TRY THEIR CONCOTIONS. WE WILL DEFINATELY RETURN NEXT YEAR BUT MORE THAN LIKELY WILL ALSO ATTEND BEER ON THE BAY IN JULY.

My friends and really enjoyed the event.

The free cheese pretzels kept me semi-sober for the three hour event, we attended the 5-8pm segment.

WQLN is a great TV channel that really knows how to throw a party!!!
