Here are the pictures I took from the 2009 San Diego International Brew Festival:
-
- In line at the parking lot
-
- We took a double decker bus to the fair. Looks like we are in London.
-
- First glimpse of the fair, from the top of an open top double decker bus.
-
- Still arriving!
-
- The ticket they wouldn't let me keep as a souvineer.
-
- Walking up to the festival, swarms of people! I'm thirsty!
-
- More swarms of people. This is about 1:30pm.

-
- This is one I hadn't tried before. It was a sour but tasty!

-
- Took a little break to watch these chicks play the fiddle
-
