DFH Randallizer
Dogfish Head Craft Brewery was kind enough to loan out the Randallizer for the Brew Fest. DFH 90 Minute IPA was run through several hops, including Fuggle and Cascade, as well as a mint-chocolate Coffee. The resulting beer had a strong coffee aroma and flavor that sat at odds with the malty, hoppy 90 Minute.




Best New Tasting
Kona Brewing Co.'s Pipeline Porter
"Pipeline Porter is smooth and dark with a distinctive roasty aroma and earthy complexity from its diverse blends of premium malted barley. This celebration of malt unites with freshly roasted 100% Kona coffee grown at Cornwell Estate on Hawaii's Big Island, lending a unique roasted aroma and flavor. A delicate blend of hops rounds out this palate-pleasing brew." www.konabrewingco.com




The crowd at the festival seemed larger this year. Atlhough the same number of tickets were sold, the large rooms had more people loitering around. That being said, lines were nice and short -- 0ften not existent.
