Live @ The Central Valley BrewFest

On this very special CV BrewFest edition of the Ale Evangelist show, the guys try brews from High Water Brewing, Amador Brewing, Lost Coast Brewing, Blaker Brewing, and many more amazing breweries live at the 4th Annual Central Valley Brewfest at the Stanislaus County Fairgrounds! The event was an absolute blast, and the guys really enjoyed the brews assembled, the great people-watching, awesome Lockeford Sausages, and the chance to meet their listeners. From the guy dancing in the Giants shirt (and knocking over his girl’s beer), to the gal who was there to celebrate her 36th birthday, fun was had by all. The people who ran the festival did a GREAT job, and it’s definitely worth your time next year!
