I sent the organizers an email. It's their first year. There should be about 200 beers to taste. It's inside and under ac. I think I'm going to try it out.

It looks interesting. I'd be interested in going, but money may be an issue lol.

Weird they told you it was the first year because I went to something called the craft and import beer festival last year.

I'll be out of town this year but normally I'd be in.

you should check this one out - It's kind of far away but awesome!

Far away... you weren't kidding.

I reread the response which was "this is our first year at this venu, but this is actually our second year running this particular event."

So this is the first year in the Arena.

How did you like it last year?

I went to GABF last year and it's mind boggling. I can't even begin to describe it.

Craft Fest - It's good. If you like small batch/micros you should go. I would go again if I didn't have to be out of town.

There are several beer fests in Jax throughout the year. Keep an eye on the Folio.

Will do. I'm just getting into craft beers. Some good stuff out there. I'm actually thinking about trying to brew one at home. well see..

Do you smoke cigars by any chance? I'm thinking of checking out a place called island girl cigarclub in the south area. It seems to be the oly cigar place around here.

I do sometimes...when the mood strikes. Usually during golf.

Island girl is right up the street from my house. I'd meet you there sometime for after work beers.

there is also Aroma's across the street from Tinseltown. Lots of people like that one. I've been in there once.
