WBF: Not as bad as I feared.
I don’t know if they widened the tents, or they didn’t sell as many tickets, or what - but I have to say that I had a better time at the WBF than I anticipated. It felt a little less crowded. Also, all in all, seemed that there were more brewers on hand willing to discuss their stuff. Maybe that extra $15 on the tickets was to pay for them to attend, and if so? Awesome.
On the other hand, their signs needed some editing… which is kind of embarrassing when you’re sponsored by a national publication.
Highlights of the festival for me were Sierra Nevada’s “Torpedo”, Ska’s “Decadence” and Jolly Pumpkin’s entire line. Holy crap. Wild yeast brewing in the States? Awesome guys. I applaud your work. Fantastic stuff.

And how. I wonder if I had placed my hopes on ‘low’ or something, but I had a very good time. Highlights for me included three delightfully sickly sweet items: The Pear Cider from ?Ace? or sommat, the fruit lambic from that booth that ran out on our second pass, and the dark raspberry lager from …. feh… I need to look at my program. Whatever, I had a good time.
