Winter Beer Festivals?

[hops99]

I don't know about you guys, but this is the time of year when I actually have some weekends free once in a while. I really wish there were more winter beer festivals from January - March. I know there are a few small ones here and there, but it's nothing like the summer glut of great ones.

Hmmm....how about a realbeer.com festival to coincide with the 2004 battle of the beers? Maybe in late February or in March?
