San Diego Beer Festival

Now, while we didn't travel very far for this one, it was still a lot of fun.

Every year they hold the beer fest, but for some reason this is the first time we knew about it. We hit the trolley to prevent anyone from being left out of the tasting. We first stopped at the Yard House to grab some food and a few warm up beers. Then we hit the streets and headed to the Beer Fest.

Each ticket gets you ten tests and they even provide the nifty tasting cups. There were tons of booths set up all around, all with microbrews, a lot from San Diego. We were hard pressed to taste a beer that was not interesting and unique in its own way. We cruised around and soaked in the live music and the crowd. We grabbed some meat on a stick from a food vendor and continued our tastings. That little mug is pretty big by the time you get toward the end. However, I persevered and took in all ten tastes.

On our way out we caught the wrong trolley and had to sit at the convention center till the next trolley came our way.

We finally got home safe after many great beers and great times. Only one year to the next Beer Festival.
