A new Bay Area beer festival will be held this Saturday, May 1, from Noon to 3:00 p.m., at Jack London Square. It’s sponsored by the local radio station KGO. It will be called the Craft Beer and Fine Food Celebration and will a benefit for the Alameda County Food Bank. Tickets are $20 in advance, $25 at the door. According to the website, you’ll be able to “taste 30 different craft and specialty beers, along with delicious food from fine Bay Area restaurants.” So far, nineteen breweries are listed on the website along with ten food providers. There’s also a Facebook event page with additional details.
tho i suppose it would have been nice if they had some nice local craft brewers in there, like Linden, Triple Rock or Drakes, as opposed to Bohemia, Newcastle, and Leinenkugels…
and yeah we know Laguniats and 21A are local, but seems a severe dropping of the ball here.
Unfortunate choice of dates. May 1st is National Homebrew Day and the AHA Big Brew. I suspect many local homebrewers (who usually support these kind of events) will likely be brewing (myself included) and unable to attend.
