SAVOR

a nice intimate little evening with 1,700 of my fellow beer lovers and the whole firmament of craft brewers...
For an event in only its second year, SAVOR was a resounding success again!

There were many improvements over last year's maiden event, the gorgeous National Building Museum was a much more spacious venue than last year's Mellon auditorium. Food, beer and restrooms were plentiful and the lines were never prohibitive. And when the DJ spun Welcome to Jamrock evret'ing was all-right.

Food was excellent and even included a diverse selection of superbly revelatory Wisconsin cheeses and a deservingly popular oyster bar.

Of course the $90 ticket is pretty steep, that's why we volunteered to help out at the event, which means we did not get to fully enjoy the proceedings or even try half of the offerings but we did have some nice special access...

Can't wait till next year's repeat!
