Beer is not something I order first off a drink menu, as a matter of fact, it might be last on my list. But even I have tried at least one (or more) beers from six of these brewers. I'm feeling quite cool! I'm sure there are some of you out there who could easily top me. How many of the brewers have you sampled from?
 
Has anyone been to this event before? I've heard it's fun, but not much else about the details.
