2006 Gaarden Beer Tasting Festival Benefit

Gullifty’s recent second annual Gaarden Beer Festival reflected the taste for lighter craft and imported beers as brewers and distributors purposely brought wheat and pale ales along with pilsners anticipating a thirsty crowd that didn’t want to be too challenged.  Based on the success of the event, they knew their audience. We asked the participants of the event to vote for their favorite and most interesting beers. Here’s the voting results… Pale Ales and Wheat Beers Rule!
