Beerfields!

I had not heard about this, but I was lucky enough to have been given free tickets from a friend. Woo hoo! The parking was great, which I wasn’t expecting at all. We walked into an attractive, wide open field with some live reggae/​rock bands playing down at the bottom of a hill. The craft beer selection was nice and although the lines were long, they moved very quickly. Everyone working the event was really friendly and they had some great food as well – expensive meals, but well worth it! After the beer tasting was over, there were still opportunities to take free pictures in front of the step&repeat (as many as we wanted!), and the music continued to play for hours. The field was large enough that there was plenty of room to sit, or to play. Everyone at the event seemed to really enjoy themselves, and I could not believe that there was almost no drunken stupor, nor any drunken fights. Either it was the happiest event on LI that day, or the security was just that quick and discreet… let’s go with both! I’ll definitely go back next year.
