Rhythm and Brews, Packinghouse Brewing Company's Fourth Anniversary Celebration!

Team Packinghouse

This past Saturday, Riverside's Packinghouse Brewing Company celebrated their fourth anniversary!  Of course, there were amazing beers.  But, there was also fantastic live music, food trucks, a cigar booth, free massages, and keg throwing!  Along with regular favorites, they also had some yummy small batch beers available.  My favorites from the day included the Sorachi Aces High Saision and Ol' Smudgepot.  Packinghouse Brewing Company really knows how to put on fun events and I had an awesome time celebrating with some of my favorite friends!  If you haven't visited Packinghouse yet, you really need to do so!

Packinghouse Brewing Company's Brew Grass Festival

Yesterday, I had the opportunity to help out at Packinghouse Brewing Company's Brew Grass event. Even though it was Africa hot, the event was a lot of fun! Live blue grass bands, tasty craft beer, and food trucks serving up food helped to ensure that everyone had a great time. I'd have to say my favorite booth of the day was the fella selling the amazing misters. He was kind enough to refill the misters throughout the event with ice cold water! Once again, Packinghouse Brewing Company put together a fantastic event!

Killarney's Fifth Anniversary Celebration

 One of my favorite local places to have great craft beer is at  Killarney's Restaurant and Irish Pub in Riverside, CA.  They recently celebrated their fifth anniversary, on Saturday June 16th.  They had a fantastic selection of beers on tap from several local breweries such as; Ballast Point, Black Market Brewing Company, Bootlegger's Brewery, The Bruery, Hangar 24 Craft Brewery, Inland Empire Brewing Company, Packinghouse Brewing Company, Stone Brewing Co., and TAPS.  The afternoon was a great time to sample new beers as well as visit with both new and old friends.  

Cheers!

For $30 you received a commemorative tasting glass to hold unlimited tastings of beer and a ticket for a choice of three food options.  The food choices included pub tacos, three types of mac and cheese, and sliders.  This was an awesome deal as the beer selection was outstanding and the food was delicious!

Black Market Brewing Company, Hangar 24 Craft Brewery, and Packinghouse all sent representatives from their breweries to pour their beer.  It is always nice to have a chat with those who make and promote a specific brewery!  Packinghouse and Killarney's teamed up to create a collaboration beer for the event, BEL-Rynger, a Belgian IPA, which was one of my favorite beers of the day.  I love when breweries come together to create a beer, especially when it is for a specific event.  

Hangar 24

Having another opportunity to sample Stone's 10th Anniversary Ruination was a nice surprise.  Another highlight of the day was trying Packinghouse's new beer Tipsy Tibbets which is a tasty Saison/Farmhouse Ale.  I can definitely see myself drinking Tipsy Tibbets over the summer since it is both light and refreshing.  Hangar 24's Imperial IPA, Essence is an outstanding beer, I liked it so much I had more than one sample of it.  Having local breweries pouring beer at an event is always a bonus, having ones that also make great beer is a double bonus!  Live acoustic music by the duo, Coleslaw was a great addition to this fun-filled afternoon.
