Brewfest

This Saturday KTW and I took the ferry over to Governor's Island for the 4th Annual NYC Brewfest.  It was a gorgeous day and we had so much fun tasting beers from the more than 100 breweries that participated.  Here are some shots I took from the day.

The line waiting to get in = people like beer.

Tents lined the outer edge of a large field where the bands played.  The buildings on Governor's Island and general feel is that of a college campus.  Reminded me of tailgating at Auburn.

Food is always first on my list so we started with burgers and attempted to make a strategic plan with the map.  We agreed the best plan was to drink beer, lots of beer.

Clearly a veteran.  We saw a few people with pretzel necklaces and wished we had them too!

I think this group was doing a cheer for beer.  They all promptly fell on top of one another after this photo.

KTW rocking the bracelet.

Even while drinking beer, I need more pictures of hydrangeas.

Just one of the many beautiful buildings on the island.

Looking to NYC.

Ferry ride home, see you next year Brewfest!
