Fun Times at GABF

Another year at the Great American Beer Fest is under our belts. It was good to see many of our old friends, and make some new ones that will hopefully be sending us beer for our festivals.

Mike “Sweets” (Firestone Walker). David “Big Daddy” Keene (Toronado). Me, Tomme Arthur (Port / Lost Abbey) Matt Younts (Click Distributing), and I didn’t catch the gal in the yellow shirts name.
