I’ve been diligently working on several SF Beer Week 2010 events for the south bay, the biggest of which is the Meat the Brewers beerfest. This event is a collaboration between myself, the Tied House and Firehouse Brewery. Just about all the details for this event, and the other events I am working on, are finished with the exception of a couple of items which should be resolved by “Go!” time.

Here are the details for the Meat the Brewers beerfest:

Who: Tied House, Firehouse Brewery & BetterBeerBlog
What: Meat the Brewers Beerfest
Where: Tied House Production Facility, 1627 S. 7th Street, San Jose, CA map
When: Saturday, February 13, 2009 @ 1pm - 5pm
Why: Why not? It’s beer. It’s meat. It’s all good.
Cost: $35/person (beer & food) / $20 (food only). Tickets are limited, purchase yours before the event sells out. You can purchase tickets in advance from Firehouse Brewery in Sunnyvale or the Tied House in Mountain View.

You can view a complete list of participating breweries and food vendors here.

You may think that $20 for non-drinkers is a lot but I’d want you all to keep in mind that there will be quite a bit of food at this beerfest. The BBQ plate alone, from Emergency BBQ, is almost worth the price of admission. Trust me when I say this beerfest is one of the best values for your hard-earned dollars!

Volunteers
