Zapp's has come and gone, and what a fantastic time it was! I tried the beers from up and coming breweries Chafunkta and Gnarly Barley and was very impressed. Tin Roof had a couple of test batches out and I enjoyed the red ale but was unable to try their coffee porter. NOLA was there and I never even made it to their tent. Man, it was a busy day but helping pour beers for the Brasseurs A La Maison made it fly by. Here are a few pictures for everyone, and be sure to come out next year, you will not regret it! For even more pictures, just go back and click on the Brasseurs A La Maison website.
The tap canoe that we put together was probably the biggest hit of the festival, but even with all the taps numbered, the homebrew sign, and the two big signs listing all the beers, the tap handles still confused some (probably drunk) festival goers. At least once I was asked to pour someone a Dos Equis, and I had to explain that it wasn't Dos Equis beer, just a tap handle! And I definitely recall pouring someone a "Blue Moon" that shocked them when it didn't taste at all like the Blue Moon they were used to. Oops! That said, the set up could not have gone better, and the weather was outstanding. I'm already looking forward to next year, we might even need a bigger boat.
