Parkville Microbrewfest 2013!!!!

This is the one beer festival I look forward to every year.  It has the perfect blend of convenience (because it's local) and awesome beer selection.  The festival will take place Saturday April 27.  One major change I noticed was the fact that the admission will begin at 11pm but the beer sampling will not begin until 1pm and run until 5pm.  This will most likely alleviate the giant lines waiting to get into the festival (Yaaay).  This also means once the beer starts pouring at 1pm there will be a full crowd to contend with (Booooo).  Hopefully there will be plenty of special beers to go around like there was last year. 

There are currently 44 brewers slated to be at the festival:
