I had an amazing time at the International Beer Fest this weekend. I was only able to attend session one, but I had a great time hanging out with lots of Cleveland Craftbeer Community Members while sampling some amazing brews. I am already looking forward to next years event and I will hopefully be able to attend all of the sessions!
In the meantime, check out my full recap of Session #1.
Now the question is...who were the big winners during this great beer fest???
