Grab your diminutive glassware and let’s belly up to the beer tent! Today Speaking of Beer takes you through a beer festival, where you’ll meet brewers, a beer judge, and a whole gaggle of giddily drunk fest-goers. The bouncing strains of indie rock band Beatnik Turtle will be our constant companion as we knock back plenty of tasty brews and find out what it takes to get through one of these things unscathed.
Find a festival near you from these guys!
[Thanks to Todd Usry, Robert Eilert, their "posse", Thomas from Flagstaff, Roman, Quentin (Clinton?) and friend, the drunk chick, Brandon the Awesome and krew, and all the other enthusiastic festers for their contributions! Next time, I should write names down...]


Ah, a fest cast! I should have known…
this should help take the sting off the big WI announcement…
That Thomas guy sounds really smart you should talk to him more often
Great show Charlie! I was going to drop a note last night but I enjoyed the fest a bit too much and buzzed typing is ugly. Also, thanks for including a couple of premium Oregon breweries in the show. They’re two of my favorites. I was sampling another Oregon brewery, Widmer Brothers, while listening to the show. Next fest let’s have a few more outhouses, the lines were horrible.
…and whoever’s in charge of cleaning those things should be fired!
