#4 is Stone smoked porter with vanilla bean. It’s so crowded here that I can’t really make my own order. But this one is very tasty.

That one sucked so we downed it and got the Allagash White. Much better.

I’m done after 6. I really appreciate everyone’s advice. I had no idea that beer festivals were so freakin crowded and full of snobbery. It seemed like every attendee was a PHd in beer and basically forced their beers on you. My biggest mistake was my initial mention of not being a beer person. Since we ended up having a fairly large group, and we all ordered rounds, I had no ability to use your suggestions without creating some kind of controversy. I’m sticking to my tried and true whisky from now on. I can already feel the hangover coming on from the beer. Cheers.
