Attendees can feast on beer treats like ale cupcakes and stout ice cream from the gelato geniuses at Scoops. And a slew of local bands will share the stage with renowned brewers giving tips and discussing their wares, as well as cheese experts lecturing on pairing beer with food. There will truly be something for every beer drinker, from new fan to freak!

Breweries include: The Bruery, Craftsman, Firestone Walker, Hangar 24, Port Brewing, Lost Abbey, Sierra Nevada Telegraph and more to be announced soon.

Food courtesy of: Pure Luck, Hot Knives, Burrito Project, Scoops & more
