Alefort is long over… but it was a hell of a good time

April 15, 2016 by Ben Leave a Comment

As the greater Boise area continues to develop as a source for local craft beer, we’re seeing our beer festival’s grow and mature.  Case in point, if you didn’t make it down at some point to Alefort, part of the Treefort Music Festival, you definitely missed out and your tastebuds may never forgive you.

All of the local players that you would expect to find (Meriwether, Cloud9, Sockeye, Slanted Rock, The Ram, Payette, Woodland Empire, EDGE, Bear Island, Crooked Fence, Powderhaus, Barbarian, Longdrop, Highlands Hollow, County Line and Boise Brewing) were on hand along with regional, representation from New Belgium and some outside sources (national and international) courtesy of Bittercreek, Bier:Thirty, The Front Door, and Prost.  To say that this was an expanded event over #Alefort2015 is an understatement and then some.  The brewery tent was easily 3 or 4 times larger than the year before and included secondary tent for some beer panels and belly dancing.  I was more focused on drinking the beer personally, but when I stuck my head in the second tent there was a belly dancer on stage doing her thing.

Well, the weekend is over, the bands have packed up and gone on their way home or off to other venues.  But the biggest letdown of the entire weekend, for me at least, is the tear down of the tent that was Alefort.  The most compelling part of the mini-beer festival within the larger Treefort Music Fest, in my opinion at least, was having such a diverse group of breweries (mostly local) that were all within a few feet of each other! …
