I like beer. If I had to pick a favorite way its brewed, I would have a problem. I like most types of beer from pale ale to stout. I’m far from a connoisseur I just know what I like. But I’m always open to suggestions. 😉
So I was thrilled when I received tickets from WDIY Lehigh Valley Community Public Radio to the first annual Hopsfest held in Bethlehem, PA, sponsored by Celtic Cultural Alliance!
Hopsfest is an event celebrating craft beers from around the world. We got to sample so many great beers under the three tents. There were 115 beers from 55 vendors advertised.
The party spilled outside around the grounds where snack bowls were set up. You could also purchase food at onsite venders.
Some people bought pretzel necklaces. The idea was to clear your palate by munching a pretzel between sampling.
Fruited beers seem to be some of the most popular. I admit the Pineapple Hard Cider by Ace was my favorite. We even went back to “taste it again”. 😉
There are many beers I didn’t get to try. Some ran out early. Also I was drinking in moderation and limited myself to the number of samples. I’m looking forward to Hopsfest again next year!
Maybe we can raise a glass together. Cheers!
