Patrons stand four deep at the bar waiting to get their chance to try the IPAs. Our kitchen staff worked hard to keep up with the demand for clean sampler glasses.
The five IPAS were placed on a yellow sheet with a corresponding letter between A-E to allow for blind judging. The big white sheet describes the five IPAs. The smaller white sheet to the left gives people a chance to vote for their favorites and guess which IPA is which.
With a packed house, Laurelwood Owner Mike De Kalb gets behind the bar to make sure thirsty patrons get their sampler trays.
Christian pours on the smile and charm as he brings out a sampler tray and ballot.
We opened the taps at 5 PM but people but people started arriving early to snag prime outdoor and bar seating.
