Beer, Baseball and Kilts
If you’re into baseball, the Oakland A’s are having their Oakland A’s Beer Fest this Saturday. Unfortunately for me, I already have plans. Besides, I don’t like baseball (for a number of reasons) but if you do, you can get in free with a purchase of a game ticket. Here are the details along with the extensive list of brewers:

One of the more unusual events coming up this weekend is the Campbell Highland Games and Celtic Gathering. The event is in its 30th year, which is impressive to me in the sense that this event has been going on for almost as long as I’ve been alive. As the name implies, there’s going to be a lot of kilt wearing men, strength based Celtic (pronounced Kell-tic, with a hard “C” and not “Sell-tic”, as in the basketball team) games and Celtic crafts and food. While not necessarily a beer fest, the Highland Games will be pouring Moylan’s beers exclusively. Thanks to William Brand for bringing this to my attention.
