Only in Minnesota would 7,000 attend an outdoor event in February with one sole purpose: to drink beer. It was the 22nd annual Schell's Brewery Bockfest event last Saturday. It was 18 degrees. (around zero with the wind chill) We waited in line for 45 minutes just to get in the gates. Once in the gates, it was still another 30 minute wait just to get a beer. A very cold beer at that. Although the day was fun and I saw lots of old friends, it just finally hit me that it may not all be worth it. It's cold. It's expensive. And it's packed full of people. I think next year I'll be waiting at the bar for all the bockfest goers, nice and warm with no wait for my beer.
Of course, it wouldn't be Bockfest without a Deer Bong & a Bear Bong.
