Huzzah! My fake brewery name…in print! It was a great event – Rubens RyePA was really tasty, and it was great to try some beers that I wouldn’t normally get on tap. Epics Bierre de Gourd, Sierra Nevadas Brewers Reserve and Big Lebrewski were standouts for me. It was a great event and fun to be a part of, which is not something I usually say regarding non-profit fundraisers…
