| While sipping on our samples of tasty beer, we enjoyed music from the reggae band Fourth Dimension and a Red Hot Chili Peppers tribute band named "Behind The Sun". A few of the other vendor tents included McDonald's, the Florida Cigar Company, Tootsie's Cabaret, the Coyote Ugly Saloon, Swisher Sweets, and the Round Up Country Western Club. After the beer festival, I learned that there was also a brewery contest taking place during the event. The winners of the 2009 New Time Original Beerfest brewery competition are the Gordon Biersch Hefeweizen for best beer, Presidente Lager for best booth, and Chang Beer won the "furtherest brewery" prize. | ||||
