Week of June 6th 2011: Bay Area Brew Fest

The Bay Area Brew Fest is one of many Bay Area beer festivals. The good thing about this brew fest is that it always seems to fly a little under the radar compared to the annual Beer Fest. The tickets for this event were only about $25 for 4 hours of beer tasting. It's really a great deal and I recommend keeping your eyes peeled for it.

Do not buy this beer. It tasted as pink as the label.
We were particularly lucky because the deal that my friends and I purchased allowed us to enter the event an hour earlier. Our group and a couple hundred other people basically had free range of the event before the masses were allowed to enter. I do have to admit that the lines were a little crazy once the regular portion of the event opened but that hour head start gave us enough beer fuel to power through it.

Honestly, I don't have a ton to write about the Brew Fest. It was a good time with good friends. The highlight of the day for me was definitely the beef jerky booth. There were a variety of flavors that paired nicely with our beers. Rumor has it they are developing a bacon jerky... I think it's worth keeping an eye on.
Mmm Jerky....

Cheaper (than the big SF Beer Fest) beer festivals are always popping up around the Bay Area and tend to run for about $20-$30 (compared to the $70 of the big one). It's a great way to get out and try new beers while having a fun afternoon with your friends.
