Enter the Brewfest!

Not even hurricane Kyle could stop the free flowing Brew at point Sebago!

So before I get on to telling this story, I would like to precede it with some helpful hints at attending ANY Brew Festival.

1. Always have a designated driver.

2. If you don't have one, make sure you have at least an hour per drink to sober up before heading back to your desitnation (Tons to do at Point Sebago, so that shouldn't be a problem).

3. Talk with people, see the vendors, chat it up with folks and share their Brew.

4. Make sure you have money for the local food vendors there are many good and salty treats to be had at these festivals that compliment brews very well.

5. Be prepared for the weather. If you're cold and damp you won't be having a good time!

So, every year it appears that Point Sebago hosts an annual Brew Festival and I just happened to get myself four passes to this rip roaring good time. It is a festival that has a bunch of arts and crafts vendors, local food vendors (from Grandy Oats, Summit Spring, Shipwreck Galley Salsa(listen to their ridiculous theme song), and other Maine Made Products and of course micro-breweries. Lots and lots of micro-breweries, ranging from the nationally known Sam Adams to the local Skowhegan brewing company Old Pond Brewery. The list is large as you can see from the attached picture. Each pass included ten drink tickets and a commemorative beer glass. So my friend Adam and I went and definitely took our fill of different tasting beverages and snacks.

What did I do with the other two passes? Good question, I exchanged them in for the ten drink tickets and spread the happiness to who ever looked like they needed them! So I have attached some pictures of the festival, the weather, an icosahedron, and a small frog I found on my compost that morning.
