The rain last weekend didn't stop Urbana residents from quenching their thirst for ice-cold beer. The town's International Beer Tasting & Food Truck Showcase went off without a hitch.
Instead of filling the Parking Garage with cars, Saturday, the structure was filled with people'and their beer. After buying 75-cent tickets, visitors could choose to try anything from over 50 different craft breweries and a handful of the area's favorite food trucks. Needless to say, it was a delicious and caloric afternoon. From students to seniors, everyone raised a glass or two, despite the gloomy forecast.
In its twelfth year, the festival served over 150 types of ales, stouts and lagers to hundreds of slightly wet'but very happy'customers. Let's hope that next year's event brings a little more sunshine.
