Dear GYA, I'm pretty excited for the Utah Beer Fest happening this Saturday at the Gallivan Center. I hope I stumble across a beer that makes me want to believe in magic again. You know what I mean -- the type of beer that makes me wish it were winter so we could freeze it into ice blocks and skate on it ... and melt it in the spring time and drink it?--- Anything happening this weekend besides beautiful, magical beer? - Barry Badrinath, The Avenues
Barry, I know what you're saying. I once had a beer at the Utah Beer Fest that made me feel like Miles Davis was playing a solo in mouth, under an orange sunset with a velvet ribbon tied around his trumpet. Here's what's up this weekend. Let's start with Friday:
