A big thanks to the great staff that made a great event
A big thanks to the staff that made the event even better. They were superstars, and it was always worth asking which beers they recommended.
Making the most of one of the biggest craft beer events at a single bar:
- Get your wristband
- Get a pen to mark the beers that were tried
- Ask for half pours, no need to be a hero
- Follow the advice of the barman to go ahead and get a sandwich to be able to “last longer” later…
