    So, now that Microbrewers Festival has come and gone, what say we get some solid info on HBG 5? I really want to get some of my friends there this year who have missed the previous ones.

    And you may not want my opinion on this, but I have to say that HBG 3 was far and away the best one you've had. Here's hoping that 5 is the second coming of 3! ;)

    What was better about 3 than 4?

    As for details: We don't have any yet, so you'll know when we do..

    Obviously, it's a matter of personal taste, but for me, one word: food! The tamales last year were tasty, without a doubt, but just didn't compare to the wonderfully delectable fare prepared by Chef JJ and company, even if they had some challenge in keeping up with demand.

    I still pine for those smoked mushrooms on toast, kicked up a bit by the jalapeno juice...

    Both years were thoroughly enjoyable, though...and among the best beer events I have attended!

    (The small crowd size is big factor in this, as well)
