The people you meet at the 2008 GABF

Here is a quick collection of video clips I took of various people I met from the 2008 Great American Beer Festival (GABF). I call this post nano-beercasting. These clips are all very short. Take a look. Did you meet any of these people as well?

James Spencer - Basic Brewing
James is one of those guys that you warm up to immediately. He's the creator of Basic Brewing Radio (and Video too) and is very knowledgeable on the art of homebrewing. James makes his home in Arkansas and is a frequent visitor to the GABF. Check out his site at: www.basicbrewing.com.


Erik Boles and Eli Shayotovich of BeerTapTV
These two Colorado guys are big fans of craft beer. They are two of the three guys that put out 3 or 4 episodes of BeerTapTV every week, a show about craft beer reviews and news. Based in Colorado Springs, CO.


Sam Calagione - Founder - Dogfish Head
You gotta hand it to Sam Calagione. He is a very outgoing and personable guy. He loves to talk about just about any subject including his favorite: making beer. He's the founder of Dogfish Head Craft Brewery in Deleware and an author of several books. He is what craft brewing is all about.

  2. Bryan - it's always fun to meet the people you've come to know from the Internet in person. Hope you had a safe trip back and that your bottles of La Folie won't explode on you when you open them.

  3. Thanks, I'll keep that in mind.

    I'm looking forward to getting through all of my pictures from our 9 days in Colorado and putting together (probably a multi-post) wrap-up later this week. A great time indeed....
