Getting Ready for the GABF


The Great American Beer Festival is coming up quick (9/24 - 9/26) and with 495 brewers in attendance this year now is the time to start planning your attack. Luckily, the fesitval map has already been released! The brewers are grouped by region, so be sure to find find your favorites and plot your course of action. I know my plan will be to target the few breweries that don't currently distribute to Denver.

In addition to the map, the great people behind the festival have made it even easier this year to get ready by creating a GABF specific social networking site. The site has pages for each brewer with many even list the beers they will be pouring! It also allows you to create and print a list of the ones you want to hit, which will definitely be helpful after a few beers. Additionally, you can connect with other attendees and check out all the events planned during the festival!
