The Beer Tap: The Great American Beer Festival

The Great American Beer Festival

I apologize for the lack of posts lately, but I am in the process of moving and have not had as much time as I would like to blog. I hope to make up for that over the next week...the Great American Beer Festival is this weekend in Denver, CO. I will be making the trip to taste beer, meet brewers, discover new breweries, and report back to you. I will post a message each day of the weekend with a quick rundown on the events and then follow up with detailed posts the next week.
