Well, despite the humidity, the rain and the presence of a beer called Pork Slap, the first annual Ithaca Brew Fest managed to draw 2,600 frat-tastic fake ID toters and a veritable wildlife safari of Ithaca townies on Saturday.

More than 30 breweries showed up and guests were given massive 2-ounce glasses to sample different beers. Hopefully, this was enough for at least a small percentage of frat guys to learn the difference between Beast (the UTI Juice) and Apricot Wheat Beer. So, uh, maybe you guys can stop stocking that vile-ass Smirnoff Ice as the "girly alternative" to whatever canned goodness happens to be in the bucket by the door. You might even get laid a little quicker.

Anyway, The Ithaca Journal covered the story today and people around here seem to be thinking this festival is something Ithaca is going to be "put on the map for." Um, HELLO, this guy has already put Ithaca on the map. Keep your lame-ass Brew Fest. We're going to go chill with Scott McClintock.
