TAP-NY Day 2 Official Blog


11:04 - We are here and all setup. Gates open at noon. Here is the schedule for today.

12:18 - Doors are open. I got to try several brews I was really lookg forward to. Ithaca's Brute and Alphalpha, Blue Points Rastafaria. Geoff from Keegan is an amazing man and said he would drop some of their new Coffee Stout for me to taste.

1:04 - A good crowd for today, but the lines are much shorter today. Sunday is the day to come if you don't have to deal with work on Monday.

2:11 - The blog posts have been slow today. A more relaxed environment has allowed me to walk around and taste a little. No more beer for the next half hour as I will be a judge today for the sinal round of beers.
