This will be my 3rd festival I will be attending this year (Firefly and I get free tickets for Xponential since I donate to WXPN). But this one I am looking forward to the most.

It's a 1-day music festival with 6 very diverse bands. And this is being hosted by my favorite brewery Dogfish Head (best in the land).

But what is great is some of the very unique breweries that will be there - beers that are hard to find here in the states.

BEST FIRKIN FRIENDS BEER FESTIVAL (Partnering with & benefiting Bellevue State Park)
2:00 - 6:00 p.m.
Hosted in the Craft Beer Barn, guests will indulge in 10 cask samplings from some of our best friends in the business.
Limited edition beers will be pouring from:

Dogfish Head
Funky Buddha
Beavertown Brewing
Sierra Nevada
Allagash
Stoudt's
Boston Beer
Iron Hill
Burley Oak
Short's

I've had Iron Hill, Boston Beer, Allagash, Sierra Nevada, Burley Oak and of course DFH. But the one that is making me drive home from NYC right after my ELO concert at Radio City music hall.

Beavertown Brewing.

That brewery is in London and can only be found in Europe. And the owner will be there to pour beer too.

Oh and the owner - Logan Plant

Yeah and he's related to you-know-who. Wonder if he'll bring dad along!

1. Huh, Shorts and Sierra Nevada kind of seem out of place with all that great east coast beer.

But good beer is still good beer though!

2. Sierra does have some offerings besides the ubiquitous pale ale

which can be found in gas station mini-marts out here.

But still, that lineup calls for Russian River or Stone or another really top-flight one.

3. Yeah Russian River FTW!

5. Give me DFH 90 minutes any day of the week

Best DIPA out there in my opinion!

4. DFH and Sierra Nevada did a collaboration. The owners are buddies

But to me Sierra Nevada borders on macro-beer it's so widespread. I have a similar attitude towards Sam Adams.

Never had Shorts though.

6. Shorts is based in Michigan

Their beers are a lot more of the experimental art house variety:
