If you are a beer blogger or a blogger with an interest in beer, you are welcome to participate in The Session on the first Friday of each month. Read up on the full details and history of The Session if you have not heard of it before.

References: Congratulations to all the brewers who took home medals at the 2007 Great American Beer Festival. This was the biggest competition ever with 2793 beers entered in 75 categories. This is most certainly an amazing time to be a beer drinker in America!

Just so you know, this was also the first year that the festival was sold out before the doors opened. If you want to attend next year, plan ahead and get your tickets early.
