Big Bear City, CA.  These folks take their beer seriously.  Many attendees bring their own super steins and have the choice of nearly a dozen brews, many of them imported German.  The star beverage, Warsteiner, “Life is too short to drink cheap beer”.  Maybe a beer savvy reader can confirm or refute its star quality?  By 2 in the afternoon they had gotten a pretty good start at things…it switches to over 21 only at 6PM then runs til midnight.  They’ll be carrying a lot of them out I suspect.  We enjoyed the bratwurst and apple strudel and lots of people watching.

Bottled courage got a few people on the mechanical bull that probably had no business there. Fido rode the bull for tips and to embarrass those who left the bull quickly.

Stein holding contests and two “man” long saw log cutting contests made for a lot of fun too.  A fair polka band kept things moving on the dance floor.  It was a fun stop for us and most assuredly would be a good time for all you beer aficionados out there.
