Blues Festival in New England

Was good to taste a few of the "leftovers" last night at the Critter's tent. Good to meet a bunch of the other tasters too! Next year I'll bring a growler or two...finally. I'm a slow starter.

Great shots Brian. Was great to have Jerry there. We were all Jerry's kids!!!
Thanks again.

Was great finally meeting you, come join us next year. The more the better

Is this something my uncle and i can join, I grow my own hops and have been brewing for a decade. We are from Portland Maine and have all kinds of great local beers to bring. I assume we can bring some glass growlers for this _even tho there is a no glass policy. I saw the facebook group and have signed up to join there as well.

Yes you may join us We have a group of home brewers & craft lovers alike that join us we are the Facebook group we are at campsite 16. The glass it not allowed in the festival area. Not sure of the time this year due to the great lineup. We are thinking about noonish!!!! Is that good for you Brian It gets a little bigger and better every year. The campsites on both sides of us are all home brewers also so we have a lot of fun and enjoy good beer.
There is a lot of good beer in Portland Maine

This year 2016 we are going to try for 12 noon on Saturday. We are having a tuff time planning a time due to all the great acts. Hopefully we can get everybody together for a great tasting for the 20th. Boogie......

Life is too short to drink crappy beer.
Boogie on.

What a bummer...having to plan around too many great acts, eh? Noon sounds perfect. Looking forward to it, especially after missing last year's tasting. I've got a nice batch of West Coast IPA coming with me...21 oz of hops in this bad boy, chinook, columbus, amarillo, simcoe, cascade, centennial, and citra. It's a friggin' hop-gasm, and will have been in the bottle 2 weeks next Sat. I'm drinking some as I type this...yum. Looking forward to sharing with all you fellow craft beer freaks...and tasting your brews too!! See ya next weekend!!
