This past weekend was Oktoberfest, and I think I am just now starting to fully recover. It was an another AWESOME event put on by Thomas, Strube, Kyle and Chris. The weather was a gorgeous 75 degrees and sunny. There were about 700-800 people that came out and brought their dogs, kids, and drinking pants.
The guys had brewed over 20 beers, and each one was unique and delicious. I was in charge of selling the t-shirts, and awesome steins (compliments of Richard Nordstrom) and it was a great way to mingle and say hi to everyone. I almost felt like it was a wedding reception because so many people we love and don't get to see too often were there.
I have to give ALL photo credits to my talented friend, Rebecca Spexarth. She took some fun shots of all the action. I am so proud of how hard Tom worked, and I was glad to say I was "the brewers wife" this year!

The hop hammer and coffee club. (The beer flows through this and gets extra hoppy in IPA's and Coffee in the Porter) |

Tom, Chris (the graphic designer), and Kyle |

Look at all those people! |

Lots of friends and family to help drink all the beer. |
