The beer tasting event of a lifetime.

Unfortunately I didn't know about it until too late, but this past week as part of Philly beer week, a Lambic tasting event was held at UPenn. It featured Frank Boon of Boon (of course), Armand Debelder of 3 Fonteinen, and Jean Van Roy of Brasserie Cantillon. In addition to tasting some of their every day products, it was said that they would be bringing along bottles unavailable in the United States and possibly anywhere else.
I have yet to read anyones write ups on the event, but I wish I had known earlier! Sure, the flight to Philly plus the cost of the tasting would have been 4-500 bucks, but that is alot cheaper than a flight to Brussels and renting a car and visiting each brewery independently.
Ah well.
