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.
