Ah me. I’m too old and cranky for the beer fest, but I’m glad (most) had a great time. Spoke to the barkeep at the Chocolate Bar later that night, and he told us that a few fest patrons came in afterwards, ordered dessert and promptly fell sound asleep at the bar! Hilarious. But reminded me of my younger, non cranky years, when sleep came swiftly after multiple beers …have fun you 30 somethings, at the beer fest — this oldster is going to the Wine Festival!

That’s a great idea! While I know MARTA isn’t the MOST convenient thing for a lot of people, it’s worth encouraging people to take it, especially when the train station is literally beneath the festival.

Imports (friend visiting from out of state) and local brews (the usual suspects), hoppy (me, to Susi French Connection), room temperature (and what a great temp it was), amber (post sun), as diverse as the list at BSP.
My visiting friend echoed admiration for what I’ve always loved about Decatur Beer Fest and Decatur– a diverse range of ages and looks, wonderful volunteers, community investment, having fun for a great cause, fantastic music, an abundance of great beer and a happy good time.

That’s an outstanding idea, Robbie.

Scott – I mentioned what ONE police officer said to me. You make it sound like the whole force is against the Beer Fest.

I am glad so many did enjoy the event. The money raised for charity is a great thing.

Still, if only 10% of 4000 attendees were sloppy drunks and only 5% drove home well over the legal limit ……….. that’s quite a crowd to manage in our little downtown.
