As the song goes, "In heaven there is no beer, that's why we drink it here!" Though you won't hear this song at any concert with 60,000 fans in attendance, you might hear it at any number of beer festivals with the same number of people. Growing in popularity, beer festivals provide a sip of all kinds of beers and a mug or two of your favorites.
The festivals are a way of celebrating the return to good, hand-crafted beer. It's a way to sample a variety of styles, all in the same location, from local and regional breweries.
If you haven't attended one of these festivals, do yourself a favor and make plans to attend. Check the Beer Calendar of Events for a listing of upcoming festivals dates and places.
