Beer Fest

This weekend I went to a beer fest that was located in Secaucus, NJ. The beer fest was the International Great Beer Expo. I went with my brother and his friend who lived in the area. I was so excited to go to the beer fest because this was my first beer fest that I have ever gone too. I think that these beer fest are awesome because it allows to try as many different beers as you want and submersus you into the beer culture. I highly recommend anyone that is interested in beer to go visit one of the Beer Expo's. I will be going to the next one, which is in Philadelphia,PA on May 30th. I took some pictures at the Expo that i wanted to share.

I did have more beers and the beer expo than just these pictures. I want to give a glimpse of what the beer expo was like. I had 25 beers altogether at the beer expo. many of the beers were stouts or IPA's. I had Beach Haus American pilsner and their Winter Rental, which was a Black Lager. I had Blue Moon's Peach wheat beer which is not available yet but it was very good can not wait to review it on here. I had a Black Lager from 3 Beards Brewery. I tried Strongbow cider, which is a very good cider but the cider that blew me away was the Angry Orchard Dry hopped cider. Some of the German beers that I had were Stiegl and Hofbrau which were both very good beers. I tried New Jersey Beer companies Stout as well as River Horse Oatmeal Milk Stout. I also tried some west coast brewery beers such as Sneak Attack by 21st Amendment Brewery and Dragonstooth Stout by Elysian Brewery. Cricket Hill had a very good Tripel Ale at the beer expo. Original Sin cider was a cider that was very good as well and only had 7 grams of sugar in their beer and they handpress their ciders. Breweries that I missed at the beer expo was Flying Fish brewery and Erie Brewing Company because their tap was down. I found some Pennsylvania beers at the expo. They were Free Will brewing company, which I tried their C.O.B ale a coffee Brown Ale. They also had a mango habanero IPA. Next I found YARDS brewing company at the Expo and the beers they had were YARDS Brawlers and the RYE IPA. Last I stumbled upon Victory Brewing Company and they had two IPA beers at their tent; Dirt Wolf a double IPA and Victory 19 a session IPA.  I did stumble across some other beers at the event such as Bitburger and Shipyard's Imperial Bourbon Barrel Stout. Saranac Brewery in New York had a very tasty Prism White Ale. All in all this was a very informative beer expo and I can not wait until the one in Philadelphia.
