I don't know if any of you guys live near Denver, but there is an event there, that honestly might even be worth traveling there for. It is called The Great American Beer Festival. I just so happened to be living near there when I was 21, and it was life changing. Being able to sample beers from all over the country, actually being able to taste the differences....yeah I was never the same.
They give you this tiny little tasting glass, not much bigger than a shot glass, and you look at this tiny thing and think to yourself, "Self, how will you ever get drunk from a glass so small?" Believe me, it doesn't take long to sneak up on you.
If you love beer, prepare to move to Denver.
