Gordon Bierch, BJs and Mayfield Brewing Company local events
It’s a little late but I’ve been swamped on all fronts. Here are a handful of events coming up this week, tonight actually, that you may be interested in:
Gordon Biersch SommerBrau Tapping
Gordon Biersch has tapping events, quarterly it seems, and while these beers may have already been available on bottle they’re finally going on-tap in the brewpubs. The Gordon Biersch (San Jose) location is having their tapping from 6pm - 8pm tonight. From what brewmaster Dan Satterthwaite told me last I spoke to him, they should have about 4 draft lines going to avoid the long lines and long wait from their last tapping event. Here’s more information.
BJs Belgian Beer Dinner
This dinner is only at their Cupertino location so I don’t think you’ll find it on their website. I’ve posted the information for this event before so click here to see the full menu (scroll to about halfway down the page). Here are the specifics though:
Who: BJs in Cupertino
What: Belgian beer dinner
Where: 10690 N. De Anza Blvd, Cupertino , CA 95014 map
When: June 23th @ 7pm
Why: Why not?
Cost: $30/person
Mayfield Brewing Company
MBC is having a tasting of their beers over at La Folie in San Francisco. Owner/brewmaster John Alderete will be there to answer any question you may have regarding the Iconoclast line of barrel aged beers. While they do serve food at La Folie, this is not a beer/food pairing event. I spoke with John yesterday and this may be your last chance to try their beers as they are nearly sold out. The 2008 vintage is still weeks away so get ‘em while they’re hot. Not sure why he won’t say but MBC beers did very well at the California State Fair with all three beers winning medals. Great job John! Additional event information if you need it.
Who: Mayfield Brewing Company
What: Beer tasting event
Where: La Folie, 2316 Polk St., San Francisco, CA 94109 map
When: June 24th, 5:30pm - 8:30pm
Why: Because they’re good.
Cost: Purchase individual bottles.
Hopefully I’ll see some of you at a couple of these events! Speaking of events, if you’re planning/hosting a beer event, shoot me an email and I’ll be happy to post the information. Leave our contact info in the comments section below and I’ll get back to you.
Cheers!

Pete, the BJ’s dinners are all over the place. Here’s a list of the dates.

There’s another one in Stockton next week that’s sorta near the Bay, but the remaining dates seem to be pretty far out there.
