Glunz was a supplier for Alefest. Just look at all the delicious beer they brought. Oh baby...

Rob, on the left, was our loyal and hard-working volunteer for the day. Bob, in the middle, is an outstanding homebrewer and longtime Metrovangelist. And then, of course, we have the Dugg.

The Illinois Craft Brewer's Guild was the non-profit organization featured at AleFest. As usual, we were perfectly happy to spend the day together drinking and serving up our brews.

What makes any craft beer fest fun and successful, of course, is the crowd.

We at Metro thank Joe Waizmann and everyone else who made AleFest Chicago 2008 possible. We're counting down to next year - mark your calendars - July 11, 2009! You won't want to miss it.
