Hosted by BeerAdvocate, the 16th annual Extreme Beer Fest will be held on February 1 & 2, 2019 at the Seaport World Trade Center in Boston, Mass. Featuring 120+ brewers and 400+ beers, across two days and three sessions, this will be the biggest and most diverse lineup of extreme beers ever.

Keep an eye on this Florida brewery–beer this good won’t stay underground for long. “Best of Fest” goes to Burley Oak’s Berry Cherry J.R.E.A.M., part of the brewery’s fruited ale series. This incarnation blends raspberries and tart, sour cherries into a puree, which is then added to a kettle soured beer with lactose. The result is a creamy brew that tastes like an adult milkshake.

I found the behavior of the attendees fascinating as we entered the venue and everyone flocked to the various brewery tables. Though I was busy enjoying myself, I was also noticing patterns, which I outline below. I also noticed trends in terms of which beers were brought and which flavors, adjuncts, and aging techniques were employed. Every year is a bit different, leading me to think about how the changes in what brewers bring to this festival are related to the trends we see in the craft beer industry in general every year. I feel like, in some ways, we can use EBF as a predictor of what we can expect to see in the beer world.

It won’t be the first time it snowed during Extreme Beer Fest (it’s winter, in Boston), or the last, but it depends on the amount of snow and how the city/state reacts to it. The idea is that if you want to show a link to a page on your site, you need to make sure that there is a page that is linked. Night Shift Brewing, one of the fastest growing breweries in the state, was one of 10 Massachusetts invitees.
