I made it to seesion 1 on Saturday and was not as lucky.

We always do the Friday night thing at those Fests because we can get a night away without the kids and stay at my Aunts brownstone condo which is literally right up the street.
We hit Bukowskis for a few then Beer Works for light dinner before the NOtB
My wife has known the owner/brewer of New England Brewing for years (went to college with him)
Got to meet him as well but that photo op will come when we tow the campers down to the brewery for a weekend this Summer

Lots of really good beers and then some that you could sort of tell went off and got thrown in a whiskey barrel...........
