This year's 4th Annual Copper State Beer Fest was biggest and best yet! More beer vendors, more food trucks, more market vendors, and more activities. Luckily, I did not have any technical difficulties.

I had the good fortune to talk with John, the social media director from Saddle Mountain Brewing. I also talked with two festival goers at two different points of the event. Lots of fun had by all.
