Beer Fests Everywhere!

I live so far from El Paso that I don't pay to close attention to the goings on there, but I have known that El Paso has long been a craft beer city. I didn't know how much of a craft beer city, until I ran across an article about their Craft Beer Festival last weekend.  Founded by Nahum Avila, the Sun City Beer Festival drew 7,000 people, 500 more than last year.

A smaller crowd showed up for Abilene's 3rd Beer Summit, but still drew enthusiastic beer fans the weekend before.

Here in Paradise, the local Oktoberfest broke attendance and beer sales records.
