Once again in the interest of public service, your selfless correspondent will be Twitterizing the goings-on at the Michigan Brewers Guild Summer Beer Festival, the 15th edition of which begins at 5 p.m. (4 p.m. if you're special) in Ypsilanti's Riverside Park today. Thrill to pictures of people standing in line! Laugh as Todd "BeerTodd" Parker of Copper Canyon Brewery gets dropped into a drunk, er, dunk tank! Turn green with envy as I tell of the awesome beers I'm trying! All this and more from just one Twitter widget. Technology is amazing, I tell you.

If you plan on joining me and doing your own Festival Twitting, be sure to use hashtag #MISBF12. And don't forget to download the program here so you can begin planning before you get there. Cheers!
