Brewing Up a Good Time

BY OWEN MORRIS

The Brew Ha-Ha crowd around 6 p.m.

The American Royal’s first Brew-Ha-Ha was this past Saturday. With more than 100 beers to be sample, festival-goers wasted no time. “Back already?” The volunteer at the Sam Adams table asked the man in front of me. I checked my watch; the event had only been open for five minutes. The $22 ticket price might have created a sense of urgency that compelled a small few to consume as many of the unlimited samples as they could handle. The majority of the crowd, however, was more like Andrew Sunderman, Issac Zohner and cousins Jon and Jared Oswald.
