East Atlanta Beerfest, EABF, Notoberfest.

EABF

I wasn't really feeling into going since I was going alone but did get on the MARTA and arrived, finally, after about 45 minutes of travel by MARTA and about 75 minutes of travel on I85 down through an accident up on I85 south.  So about 2:45 I was finally having my first "sample".

They gave you a very small (6 oz) plastic cup and then you get your "festival glass" when you leave the park.  The Brownwood Park has an ordnance that doesn't allow glass.

There were plenty of cute ladies and many sun dresses, short skirts and bare bellies.  Not all of them on women I might add.  It was a lot of fun as always and I did get a few beers I haven't had before from Moon River in Savanah.  I also got to chat at great length with the brewmaster of O'Dempsy Brewing about his process, new beers, his problems with Red Brick as a contract brewer and how much he LOVES Thomas Creek.

Since I got there a bit late, I did close the place down @ 6pm and then stopped in at the Grant Central East Pizza for a slice and then took the bus back to the MARTA station, another 2 hours later I was actually home.  I really need to get a better understanding of bus schedules and inbound vs outbound buses.

The pizza was alright but the thing I enjoyed the most was the cute waitress wearing a tank top and sporting to unshaven pits, not a problem for me at all but it's not something you see everyday here in the USA.
