I’m sorry I won’t be able to taste the Bill Brand Brown, but I think it would be a good idea to brew a beer in his honor every year at this festival. Maybe it could be a collaborative beer, with many brewers participating, like Bert’s Legendary Ale, made each year for the annual Washington Cask Festival to honor the late Bert Grant.

Glad you enjoyed yourself. In addition to the Bill Brand brew I especially enjoyed the offerings from the new Napa Smith Brewery. I think it was a red ale that especially impressed me with nuanced layers of rich flavors. Also as the producer of the event I am always in tune to the crowd and even though the Brewfest is “rite of spring” bash for many young people this year we had a few more real beer aficionados, especially early in the day.
