Hello crab lovers!  I felt like a kid in a candy shop at this year’s annual Crab & Beer Festival at the National Harbor.  This event was by far my most favorite event this entire summer.  I love Maryland blue crabs,  so this was definitely the perfect place for me!

I’ve been to my share of all you can eat crab events, and most of the time the lines are so long that by the time you are ready for more, there’s nothing left and you have to wait for the next batch to be cooked.  This was NOT the case here.  The crabs were piping hot and plentiful, and the lines weren’t painful to go through.  It was an extremely well organized event.  And no small crabby pickings here.  They offered medium sized male crabs that were meaty and fresh.

Now I’m not much of a beer drinker, but there were various beer vendors throughout the festival grounds.  They even had hard cider for me!  it was such an incredible event that I was sad to leave after my 4 hour session.  All you can eat crabs, corn, watermelon, and even beer tastings – you better believe that I’ll be back again next year, and I’ll be the first in line!
