So Cal Brew Fest

So Cal Brew Fest was a smaller beer tasting festival, but apart from the others I’ve been to, had all you can eat food stands included with admission. $ 45 got you into the festival, but even luckier for us, complimentary entrance thanks to winning a Unilocal raffle.
There was a small turnout for this event, but no complaining here. There was no line or having to wait for anything.
As with most beer festivals, you never get to really try every beer before being too full of hops or passing out. At So Cal Brew Fest, trying each beer was doable. There was probably only a dozen breweries in attendance, and about 3 all you can eat food stands, but everything was quality which made the festival worthwhile. Umami burger was generous with handing out sliders; that in itself was a $ 15 – 20 value.
The festival was located right across Anaheim packing district, so if you weren’t passed out or too full from the festival, there was still plenty to do after if you wanted, just a hop skip and a jump (or buzzed stumble) across the way.
