TnDC Field Trip #15 Inaugural Jubilee BrewFest

Got to enjoy the 1st beerfest held in Montgomery ever and since the "Freeing of the Hops". I'll have to say it was nicely set up in Twickenham Station in downtown. It was as hot and humid as any Alabama day and because we were smart enough to get the meal tickets as well we were able to have more than the SweetWater and Bell's. I had enough Delirium Nocturnum & Tremens, Westmalle Dubbel & Tripel, Scaldis, Orval and Chimay to pay for the entire price of my ticket. The booth that had these beers was sponsored by The Alley Bar and had Belgian dark chocolate and real (stinky yet good) Belgian cheeses. Some made with Chimay ale. The sunlight passing through the stained glass of the rod iron arches gave the NOLA beers a great backdrop. Hope for bigger and better next year.
