Way.

You probably remember recent posts that Russ and I shared about our trip to the 2018 Beer Bloggers Conference in Sterling, Virginia. Along the way, we regaled you with stories of the visit to Dogfish Head, Farm Brew Live, and other awesome experiences. There was also a brief hint that I checked in 106 new and unique beers into Untappd. In other words, I sampled 106* beers that week that I had never tried before. One-hundred and six.
* These are only the ones that I remembered to check in. Who knows? There may have been more.

May I also point out that the majority of these were samples. I don’t think it’s advisable to try to drink a case of very heavy beer every day for four days. I’m assuming that if I did that, I’d be writing this post from the great beyond. I found it quite interesting that I didn’t see people interested in drinking a lot … trying to get drunk. These were people who legitimately wanted to experience as many different beers as possible. And I truly didn’t see anyone getting in trouble or getting out of control. But that’s a story for another day.  For today … here’s the list (my Untappd ranking in parentheses).
