Moxee Hop Festival

Once again the Yakima Brewers were at the Moxee Hop Festival to help pour beer. This is an annual event to raise money for various town projects and we were very happy to assist.

Our group volunteers every year to help in the beer garden. This is a vary large area roped off for drinking and dancing. There was a rock and roll band, dancing and lots of young people dancing and having a very good time.

Last year we saw a few fight break out which were quickly controlled by the overwhelming police presence. This year I didn't see any fights, just lots of people having fun.

We drew the 10-11:30pm shift and when I arrived I was told, "Do not shut off the faucet, never stop pouring" and that's pretty much how the night went. As fast as I could pour the beer it went out to thirsty dancers. Of course we were all dancing a bit trying to keep up with demand! Most of the beer served was Budweiser but there were a few microbrews to be sampled. The most common request was for "beer."

Overall this it was a great night to help a good cause and we all enjoyed ourselves tremendously. Party on!
