World Beer Festival

Twice a year I travel to North Carolina to attend the ever popular World Beer Festival. They have it in Raleigh in the spring and Durham in the fall. Over 150 top breweries from around the world participate in the 4 hour drink fest. I attend with my younger sister and her friends. Sometimes they forget they aren’t careless college idiots anymore and get a little crazy. The event itself only lasts 4 hours (try drinking beer constantly for four hours; and I’m talking real beer not some watered down rice lager). My sister and her friends usually make a 12 hour drinking marathon out of it. Its quite the event. If you are lucky you will remember what you tasted the next day and actually come away having learned something. But that ain’t likely from all the fun the average attendee seems to have.
