I’ll take those off your hands!
My first official beer fest! Cannot wait!
Looks like another good time. I was glad to try some stuff that isn’t in the Ohio market too. Maybe this time I won’t get lost in the Belgian area!
Mmmmm… Tickets…
In the running for some tickets!
Would love to win! I also tweeted! Cheers!
I want to go! This event was so much fun last year :)
My husband and I are dying to go. We have never been to the festival! We watch shows and research online all the time about different beers and breweries and we would love to finally experience the tastes!
It would be awesome to be able to experience the beer festival. The past year I have been searching for different types of beers and this would be the perfect opportunity to come across some of the best!
I would love to win a pair of tickets. It was a great event last year and I’m sure it will be even better this time around.
Will White Rajah do it again?
This was a great event last year and can’t wait to experience it again as it promises to be even better.
Looking forward to hitting some of the smaller OH Breweries there I haven’t tried yet. Thanks!
Every year my husband and I try to go but something ALWAYS comes up. Hopefully not this year!!!
