I will tell you that there are few festivals in Los Angeles that are must visit.  Session Fest at Eagle Rock. L.A. Beer Week. Blue Palms and their anniversary bash.  The Downtown L.A. Beer Crawl. PLUS B.A.M. Fest in Santa Monica.

Pre-Sale tickets are now over but you should check this fest out for a few breweries:

Bell’s – Get some damn Oberon!  It’s not all about Two-Hearted.

Boomtown – NEW.  Check their beers out. Give ’em feedback.

Revolution from Chicago – DRINK ALL of their beers!  Unless you travel to 2nd City a lot you won’t see their beers here.

Dr. Jekyll’s – Strange but a fest is a place to try strange.

Santa Monica Brew Works – They don’t stray from the beach so you have to go for them.  You will not be disappointed.

 

 

BAM!

A beer festival is a beer festival, right?  Well, yes and no.  You do see some “regular” but you also may find causes that are nearer and dearer to the heart.  And if Art is your thing (not a poet, I know) , or you want kids to get art education (you should), then B.A.M. Fest is not a normal festival.

And this year from a beer perspective you will find some new gems to try…such as the opening this month in Inglewood Three Weavers to the soon to open in Carson, Phantom Carriage to the mysterious unknown that is Santa Monica Brew Works.  Plus a good amount of foreign beers and beloved locals too.

And if you so desire you can get educated as well with “20-minute mini-educational sessions called ‘Crash Courses’ by craft beer, wine and art experts. These fun and engaging classes cover a wide range of topics such as how to pick out food flavors from different beers or how art could be paired with some of the best wine and beer.”
