Treefort’s Alefort is the best beerfest I’ve been to since Oktoberfest in Munich. What made this year’s Alefort different was that the tents were organized by beer type instead of by brand. For example, there was a section for hoppy beers, one for sours and another for ciders. Another distinguishing element is that no beers (ales, ciders or what have you) were sold in plastic cups. All sales were poured into metal cups or reusable glasses that could be bought, rented or brought in (metal only) by participants.

The offerings were diverse in brand, style, exotic flavors, strength and intensity. Options included beers with hot peppers, coffee, and strawberry coconut to name a few. Categories on the flavor wheel included Tart, Funky, Citrusy, Fruity and Barrel-y. Each category housed different breweries which crafted their versions of their own under each category.

On Saturday, we went on a 7 mile run on Boise's greenbelt. It's a windy path that runs along the river and is great for dog walking, cycling and ...running. We're not exactly training for a race, but we have been upping our mileage each weekend. I've done half marathons for the last two years and am hoping we will be back in Iowa in early June so I can run Dam to Dam in Des Moines again this year...

From these last two posts, it probably looks like we've been doing a lot drinking ... that's because we have! Not really, but it's been fun having lots of local beer and wine to taste test.

This weekend we stopped by Alefort, a brew pub event that's happening alongside Boise's annual Treefort Music Festival this weekend. We didn't get tickets to the shows but decided to spend a few hours at the beer tent on Saturday.
