Belgian Fest 2016

I heard about Belgianfest through Unilocal (yay!) and it turned out to be pretty cool!
Tickets were about $ 35 a person. This got you 10 tokens and a small glass tasting goblet. The event was in the Pier 66 convention center, and was in a large room. Each brewery had a table along the wall circling the room. There were 2 periods of time that you could attend: either from 12:30 to 4:30 or 5:30 to 9:30. We chose the evening session, and got there around 6 pm. I’m glad we showed up a bit early, because as the night went on, the room got more and more crowded.
One thing I wish I would have done was to bring a small snack along. Some people had made necklaces with pretzels on them! Tasting 10 — 4.5 oz Belgians (high gravity beers!!) can really sneak up on you, and a snack would have been awesome!
All in all, this was a great event with a wide variety of beers, friendly brewers, and a good time. I plan on going back next year!
