Your question about Top of the Hops.

I've received a question, and will answer it.

Beer festival slated for Kentucky International Convention Center - Business First of Louisville

Top of the Hops is a for-profit fest being staged by an out-of-state entity. I've no reason to believe that it will not be a first-rate show. But no, I'm not personally involved with any of it, although I steered the organizers to local contacts in the beer business. I hope that helps. Thanks for your concern.
