Looking at the number of posts some people manage from the Great American Beer Festival — sometimes directly from the festival floor — I sure feel like a slacker. Strangely, you’ll find more me in some of these blogs than you did here. <\/p>\n
Offered for your consideration:<\/p>\n
– Rick Sellers<\/strong> at Pacific Brew News Blog<\/a>.<\/p>\n – Bill Brand<\/strong> at Inside Bar Area<\/a> or What’s on Tap<\/a> (same posts).<\/p>\n – Maggie Dutton <\/strong>at Seattle Weekly<\/a>. Warning: Her posts will likely fall from the top as others are added. You can visit her blog, The Wine Offensive<\/a>, for occasional beer insights.<\/p>\n – Teri Fahrendorf<\/strong> at Road Brewer<\/a>. If you haven’t been reading her trip diary, shame on you. Somebody get this woman a book contract.<\/p>\n – And the live from the floor<\/strong> part: Beer Molly<\/a> literally holds up her camera\/phone, snaps and you’re live on the Internet. If you scroll through My Beer Pix<\/a> you’ll eventually come across a picture of my badge. That’s like the 94th alternative spelling of Hieronymus in the Dictionary of Names.<\/p>\n – Stephen Beaumont<\/strong> offers his notes from the floor<\/a>. He’s right about (not) calling trends too early. <\/p>\n And I finish with this clip, available at You Tube and Flying Dog’s Open Source Beer Project<\/a>. I even mention Bill Brand (that’s him laughing in the background – Stan on camera makes us all giggle). More proof I was in Denver. (In fact, I was also at Flying Dog two days before, and will write about the Open Source Project later this week. Gimmick or beer?<\/strong>)<\/p>\n That’s not me in the hat. I arrive 18 seconds in.<\/p>\n
