About four years ago I started this little event in West Chester in which I invited all of my local brewer friends (and a couple friends and former co-workers from afar) who made Belgian style beer to put their stuff on tap in our restaurant.  When I first showed my boss the list he was worried that I had bitten off more than I could chew.  He was probably right, but it was great!  I didn’t really know what to expect that first year but I definitley never expected it to be as huge as it was.  This event was (and continues to be) our second-most well attended beer event in the company. (First is our outdoor Brandywine Craft Brewer’s Fest)  I look forward to it every year, but this year I’m REALLY looking forward to it.  Usually I spend the first two or three hours of the event cleaning glassware, bartending and putting out fires in general.  This year I get to go as a participant and not an organizer.  I’ll get to hang out with friends and drink great beer while some other poor schlep does the running around and sweating.  This really is a unique event.  There are plenty of great beer festivals out there, including a couple that focus on Belgian style beer.  But this is the only one in America I can think of that features this many Belgian style beers all made within a 50 mile radius.  I know most of my readers are from New Jersey and West Chester is a bit of a hike.  But trust me, if anything were worth making a trip out to the Pennsy ‘burbs, this is.  Here are the details.  See you there!
