Did you Miss the United Tastes of Belgium?

Did you miss it? I did. But there's a great video here that will make you even more jealous if you weren't able to make it to Denver for their first Belgium-themed beer event. I'll definitely be there next year if I'm not out of town again. On the video we get to see Colorado Springers Jason Yester of Trinity and John Schneider of Black Fox on the video. Also on the video is a nice clip of our friend Chad Yakobsen of Crooked Stave, giving what I think is a really nice description of beer as an art form. When asked why the word 'artisinal' is part of Crooked Stave Artisan Beer Project, Chad replies:

To me it's important to what we do. For the time being it's just myself with the company. All these beers are my outward expression of my thoughts, the things I'm thinking, the things that I've seen during travels or experience. So it's kind of the things that I'm drawing on in my nature, the same way an artist would on a canvas, I mean, this is my canvas...

Here's the video:
