Some
friends and myself had the pleasure of attending the Mountain View Small
Brewer's festival in October of 1997. This was an event where one got a
glass and from 7 to infinite fills of various beers from small vendors
lined up around a large tent. It was rather hit-and-miss, but some really
good beverages were discovered.
The scariest
time for me was when I discovered the German food stand. I never knew what
meats they used, and now I understand why most Germans I know
are so well-behaved... :)
