i'm getting amped up for my annual beercation known as
HomebrewCon, AKA the National Homebrewers Conference, which will be in Baltimore in 2 weeks time. 3 days of seminars, shwag from vendors, catching up with friends, and beer beer beer. they've
just announced the pro breweries and clubs that will be pouring throughout the event (yes, beer for breakfast if you want it). a lot of smaller local breweries that i haven't had a chance to try yet will be pouring so looking forward to that. it's always a blast... last year in san diego, the hippies from Lagunitas were vaporizing hops and handing out baggies filled with hop smoke. the experience of taking a huff and then drinking a non-hoppy beer was amazing (drinking a hoppy beer was a bit much...).
"The name of the game here is beer. There's more of it, in greater variety, than you'll find anywhere in the world. That's a bold statement, but I challenge anyone out there to
prove me wrong."
