Sip your way through unlimited samples from standout breweries like Cellarmaker Brewing, Original Pattern, Oakland United, Shapeshifters, and many more to be announced. Pair your pours with bites from neighborhood favorites like Xingones Cantina, Angel Cakes Cupcakes, and more. Choose a beer tasting ticket, a food tasting ticket—or go all in with both—and enjoy a day full of sunshine, music, and divine flavors in the heart of Jack London.
