Did any TBN listeners attend The Bistro's IPA Festival?

Mon Aug 14, 2006 6:43 am

We got in early, and tasted 12 or so before the crowds got too large (and my wife got too angry). A lot of great beers from breweries not easily found at the store. Disapointed by Rubicon and Moonlight when compared to the Pizza Port, Valley Brewing and both IPAs from Ballast Point in San Diego. Also enjoyed the Boulder Creek Lompico Gold.
Looking forward to Vic's next fest.

Justin and I went...we had an awesome time...
Vic put together a very nice festival with an extremely nice beer selection...Shaun O. won the people's choice award, Vinnie C. won the judges competition....


Towards the end of the festival Vic had this great Jimi Hendrix band playing...What a closer of the night...

Next year again. FOR SURE>

Prost

Thanks for the update, Otter. I was so bummed last weekend when I heard that had I postponed my trip North one week I could have gone to Vic's for this festival. Sounds like it was great.
