Just to Reiterate

Okay, okay! I promise this is the last you'll hear of this (for a while anyway). I was in Evanston, Wy last week and I stopped in a liquor store to "check out the section", and lookie what I found!

Cases and cases of unchilled, room temperature New Belgium Beer. With Fat Tire dead center! And it was all just two miles from the Utah border. It's a good thing that stuff isn't sitting in Utah getting all warm 'n shit; loosing all it's "New Belgiumany" goodness. That'd be a bloody crime! Just say'n...

Evanston's First Beer Festival

*****************click here for updated info************

It's looking like mid 2009 will be known as the Summer of the Beerfest. The city of Evanston, Wyoming will be hold it's first ever beer festival on Saturday, July 11, 2009. The name, times, etc., are still to be decided on by the committee, but it looks like things are a go.


This is a great town to hold a beerfest. It's proximity to the Wasatch Front provides a quick & easy drive, the city has plenty of lodging, The town is full of bars and most importantly it doesn't have Utah's bullshit beer restrictions. You could actually get a high abv Utah beer on tap! Wahoo! Not to mention other great regional craft beers to sample. We'll keep you up to date on all the particulars,but for now just mark the date on your calendar.

Also coming this summer is the annual Mountain Brewers Festival in Idaho Falls, Idaho. A slightly longer drive(2.5 hours from my door) but well worth checking out.


And making it's triumphant return in late summer the Utah Brewers Festival. No details are available yet on exactly when, but organizers tell me it'll be more like it was in the Good ol' days (mid-early nineties) when it was less about music (Blues & Brews Festival) and more about beer.
Cheers!
