My good friends over at Crazy Mountain Brewery entrusted me to pour beer to a thousand guests at EdFest '11. Which just so happens to be the very first EdFest of all time. Overall, I'd say it was a great success! Some exceptional beers to note:
Left Hand Brewing Co's Good Juju, a ginger beer. As in beer made with ginger. Super refreshing!
Maui Brewing Co's Coconut Porter. Tasted like a liquid Almond Joy. Yay tastebuds!
Crazy Mountain Brewery's Tate's Berry Ale. A raspberry beer made with real raspberries and not an extract! Had a hint of berry on the finish, very crisp and not overpowering.
Deschutes Black Butte Porter. A standard among craft breweries, and delicious to boot.
Del Norte's Orale Lager. Perfectly crisp, and perfect for a sunny Colorado afternoon.
Highland Park Scotch Whiskey. Confused? Highland Ranch ages beer in their whiskey barrels, resulting in a delicious (higher ABV) earthy and full bodied beer. So wonderful!
Until next year! And for your viewing pleasure, Townsend modeling as "Ed."
