I got an email from the City Market rep. She said it was going to be run differently and I think by t he group that's running the Parkville one. So we'll see how that goes, and maybe it'll be a good sign if it's any good. She told me to check back in a couple months for more info, so I will and I'll let everyone know what the deal is.

Unfortunateky, I won't be able to make it. I have a graduation in Wichita on the 14th. Have fun though.

In Reply To #1 Parkville LIVES! I can't believe this, a brew-ha-ha in Parkville, MO! I lived there (actually, Hidden Valley) for three years, a few years ago. Back when P'ville was mainly known for the college's library (in a cave!), the Farmer's Market, and one pretty cool tea and coffee place. Wow, good news. Wish I could make it. Send Pictures!

Five days away!!! Anyone else going?

Sadly I'll be MIA from this event, but look for my drunkass at the Schlafly Crawfish and Bock Festival, catch ya at the next one, Dan.

Well, it was pretty good. My first brewfest, and hopefully not my last. According to my two friends, their "Best in Show" was O'Fallon's Smoked Porter, which I also liked a lot. I think my fave might have been O'Fallon's Blackberry Scottish Ale, which was a surprise since I normally don't like fruit beers. Fun time all around, and I hope to go to the KC Brewfest in August.

Oh yeah, neither Hermann Brewing Co. or Flat Branch Brewing Co. showed up, which was okay for Hermann but a letdown for Flat Branch. They make good stuff. Oh well.
