I attended the first Heard on Hurd street fest in Edmond on Saturday night, and came away with some interesting observations.

First, it was a fun and well-executed event, from my point of view. The biggest concern might have been some long lines at the food trucks. Since I wasn’t picky about which truck I visited, I opted for the one with the shortest line. Problem solved.

Second, the Roughtail tent went over like gangbusters. They had a steady line most of the night and nearly ran out of beer before having more kegs brought in around 9:30 p.m. Both the Jaragua Pale Ale and Arbuckle Dark Ale went over well with people I talked to.

People thought Jaragua reminded them of Founders All Day IPA, and Arbuckle had pleasing roasty chocolate and coffee notes.
