Top of the Hops

Last weekend we went with 2,100 of our closest friends to the "Top of the Hops" beer festival in Charlottesville.

150 craft beers from around the world, 30 tickets/tokens per person and 2 oz. samples for each ticket/token = an intense beer tasting experience.

The festival lasted four hours, and I didn't even make it through half of my tickets.

But no one else did either - tickets littered the pavement and there was a distinct tone of sadness in the air as everyone at the festival realized just how much beer all those unused tickets equated to.

I wonder if they'll change it next year. I think making tickets cheaper and giving fewer would be kind of them. It seems like things went so well that this will become an annual event - leave a spot in your calendar!
