I made my way out to the 2nd annual Hudson River Craft Beer Festival this past weekend and had an amazing time. At events of this magnitude I've come to expect some sort of little disaster here and there. But not this time. From the very beginning of the day everything ran smoothly. Here's the top 3 reasons I had a great time.

    Beer

    Last year, I'm told there were big lines for beer and some breweries even ran out. With more than 50 breweries, and more beer on hand than needed. Lines were under control and I was able to get tasty IPA's all day, pretty much at will.

    The People

    What a fun group of people! Everyone was in good spirits and the weather was perfect. It was nice to see such a large group of people NOT glued to their smartphones for a few hours. There were a ton of WRRV listeners on-site and Deuce, Shwenker and I had a lot of fun seeing everyone.

    Restrooms

    If you have several thousand people drinking beer, inevitably you're going to need lots of bathrooms. While there was a few minute wait for the restrooms, it was completely manageable. All in all a terrific job.
