I used to love to do this event but it has become a Charlie Foxtrot of late (if you get my drift). Too many people, no parking spots, people ten deep trying to get to the tasting booth takes all of the fun away. After last year we said "NEVER AGAIN."

I can't say I blame you. Go on a brew tour instead. Next time you're going towards Walla Walla stop in the Tri Cities (Pasco) at the Ice Harbor brewery and tell 'em you know me. They'll make you pay double for your free tasting. Seriously, if you're in the area, brewer Mike Hall is an old friend...and makes some GREAT beer. Try the Kolsch.
