Owen and Kerri decided to run a small,
enjoyable beer tasting event for about 45 attendees. They chose the
side room of 5 Seasons Brewing Company & restaurant in Alpharetta and held the event on Sunday, July 13
from 3:00 to 5:00 PM. Beers were sold by 5 Seasons, and the event
included samples of 50 great U.S. craft
beers, Reggae tunes, beer trivia and a free copy of The American Brew DVD from Here's to Beer. Attendees were
pleased and amazed at the variety of colors, flavors and aromas in the
beers, and everyone had a tremendous time. With almost every style of
beer in the world being made today right here in our country, the American craft beer scene is truly
exceptional. We'd like to thank our 12
volunteer
pourers and Crawford Moran of 5 Seasons for making this intimate
tasting event possible.
Look below for the list of beers poured during the festival and a
colorful photo album. Cheers!
