Beer Events this Saturday!

Living in Southern California, it seems there is a beer event every weekend, sometimes even during the week on school nights!  This weekend isn't any different.  On Saturday Pechanga Resort and Casino will host their fifth annual Micro-Brew and Chili Cook Off.  

For $45 attendees can enjoy unlimited 2 oz pours of refreshing craft beer as well as samples of chili.  Along with the craft beer and chili, there will also be a silent auction and live music.  Tickets for designated drivers are $25.  Proceeds from the event will go towards the Inland Empire Habitat Humanity.  The event is from 1:00-5:00 p.m..  Ballast Point Brewing, Bootlegger's Brewery, Craft Brewing Company, Hangar 24 Brewing, Ironfire Brewing, Kat Daddy Brewery, New Belgium Brewing Co, Ninkasi Brewing, Packinghouse Brewing Co, Refuge Brewery, Sierra Nevada, Samuel Adams, Track 7, Stone Brewing Co, and others will be pouring their beer at the event.  I had the opportunity to attend this event last year and it was fantastic.  One of the best parts?  The event is held inside one of the ballrooms at the hotel, which makes it even nicer to enjoy the beers available.


Another great event that I'm looking forward to this Saturday is OC Beer Blog's 2nd Anniversary Party which will be held at Noble Ale Works.  The party is free to attend, with attendees having to pay for their own beer.  There will be standard Noble Ale Works beer on tap along with specialty beers only available for the party.  Seabirds food truck will be serving up tasty food and Slaves Against the Machine will be playing some amazing music to help everyone better enjoy the yummy beers.  The party will be from 5:00 until close.  Celebrating two years of Mr. Gregory Nagel contributing to the craft beer community is something you definitely don't want to miss!
