Thanks to everyone who came out for the tenth "First Friday."
For those who couldn't make it, there's always next month (Sept. 11 @ 7:45 p.m.).Note: First Friday in September will be held on the Second Friday (Sept. 11) to avoid conflict with the International Street Fair of Orange on Labor Day weekend.
It seemed like a consistently good batch of beers for August, with no runaway winners or losers.
A run-down of the August 2009 favorites:
