With only two full casks of beer and a variety of glass beers, we expected to receive a lot of disappointed customers, if we were to have any, that is. Again, I was relegated to the lowest position of the festival, that of keeping count of the number of people coming in.\u00a0 Just kidding. Despite all forecasts, we actually received a great crowd. Plus, there were these two bands that came by and played for the entire afternoon. I thought they played the best music out of all the three days. Since it was really nice outside everybody eventually made their way to the garden, including the band. After an eventful night, day 3 of the beer festival was relaxing. Nearly everyone (the volunteers) was either lacking sleep or hungover.<\/p>\n
Nathaniel Southwood, or as he goes by, Nate Dawgg (to differentiate himself from rapper, Nate Dogg), was the most hungover out of the crew. Nate is a very interesting guy. As a Brit, he is extremely intolerant toward his country (culture and politics) and praises all things American. He is a rabid 49ers fan even though he has never stepped foot in\u00a0the state of California. The closest he\u00a0got was Florida. Oh, and he loves hip hop music.\u00a0His fascination with American\u00a0does not stop at sports and music.\u00a0He goes so\u00a0far as to say that american beer is awesome and that\u00a0it is underrated.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Since the number of customers was relatively low, but by no means little (I think we matched the number of people from the 1st evening), I wasn’t really needed around the bar area.<\/p>\n
It was a great weekend. I will never forget it. Maybe I will see Dodge at the next beer festival I attend, 10 years from now.<\/p>\n
