hopes to repeat success
The San Luis Brewers Guild will hold their 2nd Annual “Brews & Bites” on Saturday, September 4th in the Mission Plaza in San Luis Obispo from 12-6 pm. Guild members will showcase their “brews” together with “bites” from local restaurants.
One of the most interesting aspects of this beer festival is that the Mission is open to all who come, including families who want the atmosphere, but don't want to spend a lot of money. There is no admission. “Only those who wish to taste beer pay for a glass and tasting tickets. Come down and simply enjoy the people and the music if you want” co-chairperson Christian Toran states.
Beer tastings will be affordable. “Our tasting glass and 15 tastes is $30 ($35 at the door), thereafter every taste will be $1. The most affordable beer festival on the Central Coast”, Toran says. “Couples can share; everybody just has to be over 21”. Tickets are available online (www.slobrewsandbites.com), at Creekside Brewing, Central Coast Brewing, or at the door on the day of the event.
Brews & Bites will take place again on Labor Day weekend. “The decision last year really paid off. We got run over” says event chairperson Douglas Martin from Einhorn Beer Co. “It was our first year, so we had no idea about how many people to expect. Our original estimate was about 700 people, but we had close to 1500 here in Mission Plaza during the course of the day”.
The San Luis Brewers Guild is made up of most breweries based in San Luis Obispo County. For more information call Douglas Martin at 540-8040. For details and a complete schedule, visit www.slobrewsandbites.com.
