Year of Gratitude - Day 274 - Beerfest

There's really only one beerfest to me and that's the one that happens every fall in Eastern Market in Detroit. Over the years, beerfest has grown into one of my favorite gatherings of friends. The last few years I've exercised my Michigan Brewers Guild membership to enter an hour before the masses and it is worth every penny. 

So much fun is to be had. The folks I see there are from all parts of my life and we are connected in one, great big celebration of delicious Michigan brews. It is one of my favorite rites of autumn.
