The faithful began arriving in the pre-dawn hours to prepare for the release of Perennial Artisan Ales' Abraxas -- "it’s decadent and full, strong, a cascade of cocoa, roast and sweet vanilla finished with a layer of cinnamon and an Ancho chile kick." The crowd brought many samples of their favorite craft brews to share with their fellow connoisseurs while they awaited the Coffee flavored brew's release at noon. Photos by
