[MKOB] Food for thought

[fballero at bigeasybeer.com]

I agree with the previous observations. 
I would like to add another event to those mentioned. That is the Knoxville
Jam held in October at the site of a previous Worlds' Fair in Knoxville,
TN. There are "craft" brewerys, small and larger, represented with tasting
lasting 4 to 6 hours, with music and foof available. Several of us were
there in 2002 when Sonny was running Day Brewery.

The short tasting time at WYES does not totally prevent inebriation. I saw
less intoxicated people at the Knoxville Jam than I have at some of the
WYES events.

At any event involving alcohol we must be responsible and provide for
ourselves safe transportation, etc.
