There were a lot of people I knew at the event, including my old friend Chewie.
There were plenty of activities to do…
But I mostly wandered around tasting everyone’s beer.
Friday night included live music.
The next morning Matt, Will, and I went on a bike ride along the C&O canal.
The hop farm is very close to the tow path, so it was an easy ride down to the Paw Paw Tunnel.
We stopped for a quick picture at the entrance…
And then read the signs detailing the history.
When building the tunnel, “Blasting the unstable shale with unpredictable blackpowder was dangerous business; injuries and deaths were commonplace.”
This was the marker on the tow path to let us know where to head back to the hop farm.
