    Events Great American Beer Festival

    Any of you attending? If so, which session(s)?

    Like last year, I will use GABF as a jumping off point for my annual Craft Beer Tour. This year I will concentrate on the Pacific Northwest, which means I will see a few GFYer's in Portland, if nowhere else.

        Yeah, I am sure you don't understand how someone could have a good time driving around the country, being welcomed by businesses with open arms and full pints in every state you visit.

            You are so strange.

            Of course I know what it's like to driving around and being welcomed by businesses with open arms. We go on pizza tasting tours all the time - we will hit three or four places in one day for some taste testing. Usually it's a friend of mine who owns a local pizza place here in town, and a few other friends. Usually a owner of a pizza place will hit me up on FB and ask me to come in, and we'll set up a day.

            There is something wrong with you.

              Is your reading comprehension that bad? How is that driving around the country? How many states have you driven to for their pizza?

              Last year's craft beer tour - 24 days I had traveled more than 6,000 miles, and visited 39 breweries (and one meadery) in 14 states; Colorado (5/1), Nebraska (4), Iowa (1), Indiana (1), Michigan (8), Ohio (1), North Carolina (3), South Carolina (4), Alabama (1), Louisiana (1), Texas (5), New Mexico (1), Arizona (2), and California (2).

              In that time I attended two craft beer festivals, GABF in Denver; and Jacktoberfest in Jackson, Mississippi. I also attended two breweries birthdays; Founders Brewing 20th Anniversary in Grand Rapids, Michigan, and the Great Raft Brewing 4th Anniversary in Shreveport, Louisiana.

              That's what I mean by driving around the country; not the county.

                  You are seriously arguing about this?

                          GABF = 800 breweries, 3,800 beers. Biggest I have been to.

                              I have a job. Multiple businesses. I am not an old man in retirement.

                              I am only half your age, so perhaps when I am older I will have time to travel more.

                                    I ran into one GFYer at a brewery after I left Founders. Can't recall his name; Heron perhaps?

                                      Don't think i know him. Hopefully you got a chance to try some crack fries from the Hopcat before leaving though.

                                          First off; bullshit. I know you did not drive to those states for their pizza. No one drives to those states for their pizza; not even you.

                                          And your job is done online. 90% of my travel has been done while working, because I work online; just like you.

                                              Day 2 of my annual craft beer tour, and I am in Durango, CO tonight. I guess I will stay at a hop farm in Larkspur tomorrow night, since they offered. Guess there is some beer release they would like to share with me.

                                              Thursday morning I will hit Denver for a three day beer festival. It is like Internext for craft beer. Lots of side events; I got invited to many. Since I know the routine better this year I should be able to get most of it done and keep Buddy fed.



                                              I was going to post some pics, but not a lot of chicks . . . yet.

                                              If interested . . . https://craftbeerguy.com/tag/craft-beer-tour-2018/ will have everything.

                                                Welcome back to Colorado Baddog! Larkspur is right up the road from us, we are still down here in Springs. Deadlines are keeping me from Denver this time, sucks balls as it looks like one hell of a party and selling out fast!!

                                                Be sure to keep Buddy plenty of water on tap....record breaking heat wave has been brutal. Looking forward to the updates, Safe Travels Man

                                                    Damn, that would have been cool to spend some time with you guys. I will remember that for next time tough, for sure!

                                                    It sure is beautiful around here; came up 160, it was amazing. Wish I had more time to stop and shoot it.
