Yard City Cask Festival

Last Saturday was the annual Yard City Cask Festival put on by the West Sound Brewers over in Bremerton.  The morning started with a nice ferry ride across the sound and a yummy breakfast at the Hi-Lo 15th Street Cafe where one table is located in an old VW bus.  Sadly we did not get to sit in that table :(

The Cask Fest featured nine cask conditioned beers and were all under 5% ABV.  My beer engine box worked great though I was a little jealous of the three-headed monster and the one decorated with lights.  My beer turned out pretty good especially with the less than 2 week turnaround and it had a great centennial hop aroma from the dry hops.

The whole Wayward crew was in attendance with a beer each and Jerome had made some Wayward buttons and some great banners too with the logo.  Overall a great day of drinking a unique and varied collection of session beers and meeting some new brewers.  Big thanks to Matt and the West Sound crew for being such great hosts.  I look forward to next year!!
