TGIF. After a 5 hour drive down from Minnesota, we met up with some long-time friends Steve & Sharon at local German restaraunt Hessen Haus and enjoyed some good food and great beers before stopping here on our way back to camp at the Iowa State Fair Grounds. Its hard to top some good german beers but a flight of Sound Check IPA, Get A Little Hazy IPA, Red Rambler red ale, Oktoberfest marzen and Runaway Bay tropical stout gave them a run for the money. The marzen was a close 2nd to the to the four different bees we had at Hessen.
