Noon – 10 PM

The Austin Saucer hosted it’s 1st Annual Fall Beer Festival in the triangle. We set up 5 tents with 22 draught beers including 3 live ales. The Festival was set up like a tasting in the grass park (center of the Triangle). Those who came bought a tasting card with a commemorative glass upon arrival and could taste 10 beers per card. Pints were available in each tent as well.

This was our first major beer event outside of the Saucer and over 1500 people attended. Next year we will make a few changes, but remain focused on beer, education and good times.

The beer line up had some interesting seasonal beers from the local boys; Live Oak, Saint Arnold, Independence & Real Ale:

Real Ale cask Shade Grown Coffee Porter – and this was the 1st release of the Porter for 2008.

Live Oak Cask Dry-hopped IPA -one of my favorites, but almost too carbonated.

The charity organization,  Us TOO was there to support their cause. They recently launched an awareness campaing called Pints for Prostates. A booth was set up to educate our audience about their cause and to help raise money to create awareness.
