This past Saturday, beer lovers and festivalgoer's took their love for beer to a whole new level. Over 2,000 people joined together on the Ellm's Family Farm in Ballston Spa to enjoy great beer, delicious food, live music and fun in the sun at the second annual Saratoga Brewfest.
About 60 craft breweries were present, showcasing over 100 different local, national and imported beers. Even the biggest beer enthusiast was satisfied with the variety of microbrews available; From peach, pomegranate, blueberry, raspberry wheat, to dark ales and pilsners, there were a number of options to satisfy every kind of taste bud.
Each participant received a 5oz. souvenir glass and an event guide to mark off each of the beers they tried.
Once the beer munchies set in, participants were able to snack on a variety of sizzling and savory food from local eateries.
Festivalgoer's also enjoyed live music provided by local bands, the Rodeo Barons and Tribal Revival.

Saratoga Brewfest was fantastic. This was my first year going and it could not have been a better day. I especially loved the Purple Haze, a Raspberry beer, from Abita. The selection, food, music and people were all great. Would definitely like to attend the Oktobeerfest coming this September if it is anything like the Brewfest!
