Whew, what a Great American Beer Festival.
Remembering the size of the crowd — sold out every session, scalpers galore (although it looked like it wasn’t hard to find a ticket at face value) — will make it easier not to regret missing next year.
It was, however, fun. More about that beginning Tuesday. Tomorrow will be a Blog Action Day.
Raton Pass was even prettier on the drive home, although the day began with rain in Denver that turned to a wet snow 20 miles south. I didn’t start home at dawn, as is my habit, because I wanted to check out the Rough Rider Brewery in Las Vegas, New Mexico that is. And you can’t serve beer until noon in New Mexico.
Problem is, that despite rumors it had opened about six months ago, it still doesn’t appear even close.
What the heck — I probably had enough beer this weekend without one more tray of tasters.
