Blues and Brews called a success
The seventh annual Blues and Brews beer festival last Saturday in Akron was a success in its new location, said organizer John Najeway, co-owner of Thirsty Dog Brewing Co. More than 2,000 people attended the event -- less than in previous years. But Najeway attributed that to moving the festival from Stan Hywet Hall & Gardens to Lock 3 downtown. It also was obnoxiously hot. "I think the new venue will be great going forward," Najeway said, noting that there is much more space at Lock 3. He said he heard positive feedback about the additional space to walk around and the indoor restrooms -- as opposed to portable toilets. "Next year, I think we will spread out a bit more and have some more beer-related food and beer pairing areas and demonstrations," Najeway said. You can check out a review of the festival at Cleveland Food and Brews. Here are some photos of the event:
