It was all about beer in Ypsilanti's Riverside Park this weekend.

Beer-lovers braved the rain Friday and the humidity Saturday to attend the Michigan Brewers Guild 13th annual Summer Beer Festival at Riverside Park in Depot Town.

More than 300 hand-crafted beers from over 50 statewide breweries were available to sample. Visitors also enjoyed live music and food.

At least Ypsi knows how to party! Maybe Ypsi should have a Beer Fair so that the husbands and boyfreinds of the Art Fair crowd would have a place to go.
