The Great Arizona Beer Festival in Tempe, Ariz. was amazing! On Saturday, we enjoyed big crowds, sunshine, flip-flops and some amazing beers (my favorite was the Ponderosa India Pale Ale from Prescott Brewing). On Sunday, our crew returned to much smaller crowds on a cool Arizona spring day. We drank, ate and danced in the rain—which turned out to be the highlight of the festival for the XCMDT.

We would like to thank the Sun Sounds Foundation of Arizona for sponsoring such a great event for a worthy cause! Also, thank you to all of our team members (new and old) for making this festival so memorable. Please view pictures of the Great Arizona Beer Festival 2010 on the linked pages to see good times and embarrassing dancing.

Next on our agenda is to find another great beer event. As always, we will be at the Great American Beer Festival in Denver. We may also try to attend the Colorado Brewers Festival in Fort Collins.
