One reason for the next show’s delay was my experience at the 7th Annual Arizona Strong Beer Festival. We’re talking dozens of breweries from all over the US, plus a few international folks, all pouring the good stuff. You really had to search to find a beer clocking in under 7 % ABV, and there were some big ol’ doozies represented: Sierra Nevada’s Bigfoot Barleywine, Dogfish Head’s Chateau Jiahu, Oskar Blues’ Gordon (in a can!), and many, many (blurry) others…

Here are a few pics:

Count the people hoisting a glass.

Who says there’s an East Coast/West Coast thing in beerland?

Some favored accessories of the day.

Delightfully drunk festival-goers. Listen for them on an upcoming episode!
