This is one of those things I look forward to every year.  I haven’t missed a Belgium Comes to Cooperstown since the very first one and I don’t intend to miss one any time soon.  I was a little afraid that the opening of our new restaurant would coincide with this year’s event and that I wouldn’t be able to get away.  But the restaurant opened on time, the staff is trained and my tanks are full.  Time for a break!  Last year I and a group of friends rode our bikes up to Cooperstown.  Great trip.  You can read my account of last year’s trip, it’s archived on the Brewlounge.  For a more concise and professionally crafted account read Joe Sixpack’s piece. This year there was no way I could take a whole week off for such a trip.

Our fearless leaders Jeff and Lara are making the trek again though, and this year they’re blogging about it.  BCTC is a great time, and this is from a guy who’s been to a lot of beer fests.  I often tell people that if I had to choose between attending the Great American Beer Fest and BCTC, Cooperstown would win it.  I’m packing my camping gear tonight and heading up  first thing Friday morning.  I’m sure I’ll see a bunch of you there.  We’ll have a beer.

Cheers,

Chris
