We started off Tuesday with a little ceremony; a hand off the AHA cellar lock from the 2008 Cincinnati Cellar Master to the 2009 Cellar Master.
I had been working with Mike McDole through out the year helping him get the needed information and letting him know what to expect from the job. It was a great honor to meet him and turn over the "Cellar Keys". He also showed me around his set up with the trailer, walk in coolers and marking system.
In attendance was Debbie Rosenburger, Jane Krauth, Bill Krauth, Mike DcDole and Cece Briggs.

Wednesday was had pre-conference events including a trip to Anchor Steam Brewery.
Thursday we went to Alcatraz in the morning and Pro-Brewers session that night.
Friday the big event was Club Night. I really have to look up to Greg with Yyeast
Saturday was the Grand Banquet. This was the best meal and beer paring that I have ever had at an AHA conference. Sorry Dibbs the camera did not do you justice. They made the announcement with next years location. The 2010 AHA Conference will be held in St. Paul, Minnesota. You betcha!
After the conference we went on to Hearst Castle in San Simeon and Winchester House.
