Secondly and probably more importantly, Vince is better suited to write about a Beer Festival anyway. I bought him a ticket and sent him on his merry way.

Vince went back to Oktoberfest again later, several times in fact over the years, and always without me. Ein Prosit der Gemütlichkeit.
"Jozi Craft Beer Fest: one guest blogger's quest to sample a hundred beers from 40 South African micro-breweries - Vince Kasten, Guest Blogger
During the fall South Africans participate in all manner of sports - double marathons, iron man triathlons, and 100 mile bike races to name a few. On the whole they're a robust and outdoorsy bunch. I'm neither, so at 10AM on a cloudless, amazing weekend day I headed for the Jozi Craft Beer Fest. As it turns out, Johannesburg residents also treat beer drinking as an outdoor sport.

freedom seriously and had to drive home. 30 years ago my buddy Ric and I each drank our way around the world (28 beers from 28 countries) in two days at a place called Turtle Krawls in the Florida Keys. Today at the Jozi Craft Beer Fest I didn't make a dent, but the day was more about the sun, the music ("Play that Funky Music White Boy" was popular...), and the fall crowd. It was not as much fun as it would have been had Darlene been there with me (my official position, despite the sms I sent both the boys about how they should think about moving to South Africa given the large numbers of tall, blonde, athletic females that apparently like to drink beer), but it was a good way to spend a sunny Saturday."
