The 5th Annual South Bay Beer & Wine Festival will be held on Sunday, May 20 from 1:00-5:00 PM at Ernie Howlett Park in Rolling Hills Estates.

Presented by the Rotary Club of Palos Verdes Peninsula and Rotary Club of South Bay Sunrise, a major portion of the proceeds from this year’s charity fundraising event will go to support the Pediatric Therapy Network and Wounded Heroes of America.

If you have attended any of the previous South Bay Beer & Wine Festivals, you know what a great time will be had; but if you have not, let me clue you in.

Included in the price of admission is unlimited pours from 43 craft breweries assembled by Beer Paper L.A.’s own Daniel Drennon. But that is not all; you will also receive unlimited pours from 17 wineries and food samples from 45 different restaurants and food vendors! If you buy a VIP ticket, you get in an hour early and you can get tequila and/or vodka, in addition to access to the shaded tent.

I am not going to list all 43 breweries scheduled to attend, but you can find the list here. The cast of regulars like Beachwood, El Segundo, Firestone Walker and Smog City will be there, but several new breweries will also be making their inaugural appearances. These breweries include the likes of Common Space, Docent, and Ximix Craft Exploration.

There will be an art show, live music and a couple thousand people to enjoy what has historically been a great Sunday afternoon.

Now, I have something special for those of you that read this far; a discount of $10 per ticket! How does that sound? If you order your tickets online at http://sbbeerwinefest.com/tickets-2/ and use Promo Code CBG10 you will save $10.00 per ticket (be sure to hit Apply Code)! Pretty cool, huh?

This is really a great deal and it goes to a very good cause. More details can be found on the South Bay Beer & Wine Festival website. I hope to see you there; cheers!
