Well not a real golden ticket, but just as good. 2008 Great American Beer Festival Tickets. Yes, it dos not happen until October, but I was not taking any chances this year. As soon as they where released I ordered mine, they usually sell out weeks, if not months in advance.  Then you end up paying a scalper big bucks to get in.

So once again for a mere $50, I get to enjoy all the beer I wish in a four and a half hour period. That’s right it was extended this year from 5:30 to 10:00PM. Good Deal! Just don’t drop the single tasting cup you get at the door, or your night will end early. Stay tuned for more in October, or check out last years excursion to Denver Colorado for the 2007 GABF.

Once again there was beer, and lots of it. With over 430 breweries on location for a total of more than 3000 beers on tap, there was more than just a few beers to sample. There is no place in the world like Denver Colorado during the Great American Beer Festival, except maybe OctoberFest in Germany. Men in skirts, Women with pretzel necklaces on, guys in blue leisure suits, and the occasional cardboard bird on someone’s head. I was actually graced with the birdhat for a few moments, you can see it in this interview on G4 TV . That’s me standing next to Jason in the blue leisure suit as the show starts. No one where the bird hat finer than the BirdMan though, he was strutting his stuff for all to see once again at this years celebration of beer. Hell, we even where featured in the official beerfest photo gallery this year. So enjoy the photos and our little video compilation.
