I still haven’t decided whether I’m going on Friday night or Saturday. I was just talking with my wife today on how many of these we’ve been to. The first one I went to was either 7 or 8 years ago.. (now I feel old!). I remember when it used to be at the old park with the track circle around it. It’s definitely grown in brewers and attendance over the years, but I can honestly say it’s got to be the absolute best day of the summer.
I still haven’t reviewed the list of beers, but don’t forget Brewer Guild Members - gates open early for us, by at least 1 hour if I remember right. woohoo!
