I'm going ahead and dinging this because you can't actually drink while on it. You just drink at the stops it makes along the way.

BOO!

The beer at Fest of Ale was delicious. My favorite was teh New Albanian Bonfire smoked porter.

I think mine was the Founders Kentucky Breakfast Stout

Ever since moving to Charlotte there are a ton of beer fests. I'm going to the untapped one next weekend:
