Good Beer and Good Food were joined by Good Company. In addition to the Good Beer Seal bar owners (both old and new), brewers, beer reps, beer writers and beer lovers all stepped out to support The Good Beer Seal and meet “the new guys”. Delicious eats were provided by Tchoup Shop and Ray Deter’s beer list at DBA did not disappoint the crowd!

Best of all, the camaradarie between The Good Beer Seal bar owners made the night truly enjoyable. One party goer quipped, “It is like a beer family reunion! I can’t remember the last time I got to see any of these guys!” Ahh. The Good Beer Seal, its like family with better beer and less baggage.

Metromix was kind enough to cover the event and took so many pictures it is almost like being there!

For a taste of the evening, check out May 25 episode of Beer Sessions Radio where the guys from Pacific Standard and Rattle N’ Hum dish with Rachel Wharton and, of course, Jimmy Carbone and Ray Deter. Expect more fun stuff from The Good Beer Seal as July Good Beer Month is just around the corner!
