Hops in Humboldt 2009
Humboldt, CA, USA

This year marked the 6th year in Humboldt history with Hops in Humboldt. I still remember the first year, five breweries in a small circle by the loopdy bridge (a term only Humboldtians will know and appreciate).

This year we have hit the 30 brewery mark and it had to be moved to a bigger site. This made us all proud to see that our small town beer drinking gala has officially reached "FESTIVAL" status.

Great food, great music, and of course, great beer made for a wonderful four hours of drinking, hell even the sun blessed us with its appearance.

So I say, if anyone is even near California for beer, up or down, try and make this event in the future, every year gets bigger and better.
