I just bought my Black & Blue tickets because I was in Brawley’s today and heard Michael telling a distributor that “the brewers are stepping up their game for Black and Blue.” This will be my first B&B, but if it’s anything like QCBF, I’ll be glad I got my tickets early.
Trust me, Anna, you won’t regret it! Brawley works hard to bring in beers you rarely see anywhere else for this event. Of course, breweries bring year-round beers, too, but it’s the one-off kegs and casks that really stand out. See you there!
Anna, it’s truly the beer event of the year…I have friends come down from DC for it.
Two weeks.. Looking forward to this!
