Comments: We ventured out to the First Annual AleFest Indy and enjoyed it quite a bit. We sampled quite a few new beers. Found some we like (Hopslam) and some we didn't care for at all (won't mention any by name - it's been a while since we went, and my notes aren't very good).
A few comments about the event - they got a bigger crowd than expected, which says good things about the beer scene in Indy. The downside was that they started running out of some of the beers fairly early. We were trying to take our time and not get too "happy" too quickly. Because of this, we missed out on a few beers I really wanted to sample. Near the end of our ticket allotment, we started going back to the few beers that we knew we liked, and were still available (Brugge Beer - both Black and White versions). Not a big deal, we certainly enjoyed ourselves, but we would have liked to have had an opportunity to sample a few that they ran out of. We also didn't map out a game plan and a "hit list" of beers we wanted to try. Next year we'll be a little more prepared.
