“We’re excited and pleased to offer an array of seductive and tasty beers and wines from some of the top producers in the world,” says festival chairman Rick Ciardella. “On the beer side, we searched high and low for the most exotic and rare examples of these sudsy treasures and have come up with a truly wonderful list of beers that will absolutely fascinate and astound festival goers.”
The beer tasting menu is exceptional: Anchor Liberty Ale, Ballast Point Pale Ale, Ommegang Seduction, Anderson Valley Summer Solstice, Pyramid Curve Ball, Full Sail Wassail, 21st Amemdment Bitter American, Mendocino Brewing Bock, Drake’s Brewing 1500 American Pale Ale, Stone Brewing IPA and Heretic Evil Twin Blood Red West Coast Amber. Special thanks to our sponsor, DBI Beverage, for making the beer tasting possible.
