The usual gang of suspects - Todd, Eric, Paul (the brewmaster), MK and I were joined by newbies Ankur and Ashwini as we spent a gloriously hot and steamy day quaffing samples of beers from over 200 breweries and brewpubs from across the midwest! The 21st festival did not disappoint.
Favorite beers this year? Mine were Brugge's Old Dog Cru and Tripel de Ripple, and Two Brothers Brewing Company's Domain Du Page Real Ale (from the ale tent). Our resident brewmaster Paul said " I loved the Huma Lupa Licious from Shorts brewing Company, Bellaire MI An incredible hops explosion, intense, powerful, aromatic. Not a beer for the weak. I'm going to have to make a road trip to Bellaire." Ankurs added his two cents by agreeing with me on the Old Dog Cru as well as Paul's vote for the Huma lumpa licious and adds local favorite -
