White Flame Brewing Company

A new favorite. I tried their Bourbon Barrel Black Sheep Black IPA. Oh my.  So good and I don’t even like IPAs.

You’ve never been to a beer festival? So here is how it works:

  1. Purchase your ticket (well in advance because these events sell out)
  2. Have a plan because there is a lot beer to taste
  3. You’ll receive a packet of tokens, one glass and a program (don’t lose any of these items)

Some enthusiasts dress up.

I lost my sunglasses and had to borrow a 20-year-old pair from Jeff.  I’m pretty sure everyone thought I was from the Sons of Anarchy.  I wasn’t trying to dress up.  Customs are not mandatory.

Not Sons of Anarchy
