After the Brewers Reception, everybody adjourned, as usual, to the Falling Rock, unofficial HQ during festival week.
Falling Rock co-owner Chris Black jumped up on the bar to announce the evening’s festivities.

Pierre Celis was there tasting people on his new golden Grottenbier.
Of course, the Rolling Boil Blues Band rocked the house with Tom Dalldorf on guitar and John Harris from Full Sail on washboard.
The RB3 had them dancing on the tables.
bummer that I missed the fun this year. Seeing these shots make me feel better. And they make me feel like having a beer.
