New England Beer Fest: Saturday, October 29

We're big fans of the Beer Advocate Beer Fests...we went to the Extreme Beer Fest last fall and had an extremely good time, and we're looking forward to our next one. On deck is the New England Craft Beer Fest in Boston, which will take place on October 29, 2005.

We checked the Beer Advocate site and came up with the stats for the New England Beer Fest, which will feature "tasty craft brews from Connecticut, Massachusetts, Maine, New Hampshire, Rhode Island and Vermont." Over 125 beers from more than 30 New England breweries will be on tap, and there will be the usual beer education forums, plus tasty treats on hand if you're worried there's not enough blood in your beer stream.

Looks like the VIP spots are already sold out, but tickets are still available for the afternoon and evening sessions for $22.50 each. The afternoon session runs from 1 PM to 4:30 PM if you want to get your drinking started during the day, and the evening session goes from 6 PM to 9:30 PM if you only get your beer on at night.
