SAVOR: An American Craft Beer Experience

The IDEAL Magazine's "IDEAL 10"

(click on article to enlarge and download)

I thoroughly enjoyed myself and will be marking this off on my calendar as a must attend annual event. My goal is to get more people to attend with me each year that and create more #BeerNewbie's like myself :-)

I was not able to make it to all of the tables, and I was disappointed I didn't get to taste the shrimp and grits, but I am getting my game plan in order for SAVOR 2017 for sure. Thankfully I met a group of guys from "Craft Beer Nation," and they showed me the ropes. We connected with Brittany from Atlanta and had a blast. I ended my evening with a glass of Kirsch Gose Ale, which was DELISH!!! Be sure to mark your calendar and check the website for ticket sales. SAVOR typically happens around the beginning of June.
