Weekend Fun: Dabbling with Beer

Last weekend a group of beer lovin' friends and I headed to the Beer Dabbler in St Paul.  Despite the outdoor part, which immediately seems unappealing, the event was a blast. When I started feeling a little chilly I would make my way over to the silent disco where a surrendered drivers license would score you a personal headphone to wear in the dance arena.  The best part was that everyone could listen to whatever music got them grooving best.

 Pre-dabbling at Alary's, we noticed many other pre-dabblers wearing pretzel necklaces.  It makes sense to have a palette cleanser between tastings or just a snack to soak up some of that beer.  Either way a quick trip to Super America and some spare lengths of sock yarn donated from my knitting project resulted in our very own necklaces.  

 My very own tasting glass.  At first I was bummed that it was plastic, but as the night progressed I realized it was an excellent planning decision.  :-)

 The first cheers.

 Somehow, Sharon managed to help out behind the counter at Great Lakes Brewing!
