Last Saturday the second annual Bay Area Brewfest took place in San Mateo. It was another beautiful day in the Bay Area. While there plenty of local and domestic craft beer pouring at this festival, I think what will ultimately set it apart is that there are several good Belgian and German import beers in attendance. Very few festivals have better imports so it was a good opportunity to try a variety of beers from abroad.
