Standout Brews

Out of the massive amount of beer being offered at the Celebration of Craft, there were a few standouts:

• Firestone Walker Brewery | Bretta Tangerine, 4.9%: Berliner Weisse fermented with tangerines
• Trumer Pils | Doppelganger 6.6%: Doppelbock
• Beachwood Brewing | Dunkle as a Skunkle 5%: Dunkle
• Sierra Nevada | Hoppy 40th Anniversary Ale 6%: West Coast IPA

While the crowd was enjoying their unlimited tasting during the event, Pizza Antica was serving up the noms! There were a variety of sandwiches available to satisfy meat-eaters and vegetarians alike! The Warehouse was packed with guest taps so Trumer brought out their tap trailer, more like a bus, to help serve up their light offerings outside, stationed near the original Sierra Nevada Brew System.
