What do you do during long beer events
Mon, 07/13/2009 - 8:28pm — Christopher-Miller
This conversation comes up quite a bit when talking about craft beer to friends. What's your strategy for a long day of beer drinking? Do you stick with craft beer all day long or do you throw in some light beers just so you can extend your day?

Fest survival tips
Here are some tips I wrote last year on how to survive a beer festival that I posted on the Examiner.com. I employ as many of these tips as possible.
1. If the festival is outside, come prepared for all kinds of weather. For sunny weather - consider chapstick, sunblock and wearing a hat. For cloudy days - bring a compact fold-up rain poncho. Wear comfortable clothes and shoes. You'll probably be standing the entire time. Wear dark absorbent colors and avoid white t-shirts because if you spill beer on yourself, darker colors mask spills better.
2. Drink lots and lots of water. Drink 1 glass of water for every glass of beer you drank. Beer will dehydrate you, even on a cool day. The more water you drink the better off you'll be later on.
3. Bring a designated driver. Or if none are available, plan on staying in a nearby hotel within walking distance. Better yet, plan to take public transportation most of the way home and go with a friend. Always give yourself plenty of time to sober up before attempting to drive. It could take hours!
4. So many beers, so little time. Don't even try to sample them all - it's not possible. Pace yourself. Don't rush from one booth to the next. Take the time to enjoy your sample and talk to the brewers or your friends.5. Go to festivals earlier in the session and avoid the drunks who stick around too long. The longer into the festival you stay, the rowdier the crowd will become.
6. The longer you stay and drink, the worse the hangover may be the next day. Set yourself a limit for yourself before you go and then stick to it. Your head will thank you for it in the morning.
7. Find out where all the closest after-festival hangouts are and go early. If you plan on staying out late, try to hit the hot spots within walking distance. Get there before the crowd does. Use that time to sober up a bit before attempting to head home.
8. Be sure to eat something! One cannot live on beer alone. Eat something before, during and after the fest. Eating will help you avoid getting drunk. Try wearing a pretzel necklace around your neck and chew on it as you go!
9. Create a Beer Plan. Which styles & breweries do you want to focus on? Its best not to mix too many different styles together in one session as your palate will go numb quickly after a few samplings.
10. Write down what you liked / disliked about your beers. If you don't take any notes, you may forget what you learned the next day. Don't worry about looking like a geek. Most people won't remember you the next day anyway.
11. Stick with beer (and water) only. You may be tempted to try other beverages during the fest like hard liquor or alco-pops. Beer tends not to mix well with other types of drinks.
12. Before you go to bed that night, drink more water and take a recommended dose of Advil or Tylenol. Be sure the pain reliever you take is OK with your doctor. Never mix powerful medications right after a beer.
