So Many Beer Fests

We haven't been beer snobs for long - well, at least not in the greater scheme of things.  Joe and I started our adventure at the Flying Saucer in Addison, TX about 2004 or '05.  We haven't looked back.

We've tried (as far as I know) every style of beer we've come across; I'm sure there are more out there and more being developed every day.  We've gone native on our travels, we've searched the back aisle at backwater beer stores, and yes, we've waited in line for rare beers...sorry Rev.

So as the beer scene in Colorado shows no signs of slowing, we are presented with an increase in opportunities.  On the one hand, we get really excited about the prospect of new and interesting beers (with a slight trepidation that we won't be able to find something we've never had...never happens).  On the other, it's getting harder to decide just which opportunities to take.

We've been to the GABF four years in a row, and when we hinted that we might not go to the 2016 event, there were audible gasps among our friends.  On further reflection, of course we'll go this year.  But in the meantime, we're going to the Breckenridge Beer Fest, the South Denver Beer Fest, Rails and Ales, the Beer Fest at Coors Field (during a Rockies game; and yes, they'll have more than just Coors Light), and also the Denver Summer Beer Fest.  All of those events fall before the end of July.  That's a lot of opportunity, especially considering there are many fests that we're passing on.  Gracious.

So, are we beer snobs?  A little bit.  Are we beer enthusiasts?  Definitely.  Will we ever run out of new and interesting beers?  Doubtful...but we're willing to keep trying.
