Columbus Beer Festival

A group of us went to the Columbus Beer Festival last weekend.  It had about 150 different beers from a ton of small craft breweries and some that you have heard of.  It was a great opportunity to try some beers before you pay $12 for a six pack and realize you don't like the beer.  We tried to rate them on a scale of 1-5 as we tasted them so we could buy them later.  Jeff have you tried Rivertown Brewery in Cincy?  They had a couple of really good beers...here are some of our favorites:

    I tried the Treogs Hopback Amber this weekend at Urban's while we brewed his next batch. I was a little hesitent bc it was one of the last beers we rated (and had consumed a few beers at that point) but it was great...I would buy it again in a second.
