As I announced last week, local craft beer hoarder Chad Hazen, in conjunction with King Harbor Brewing Company and Steinhaus Restaurant and Beerhall at Alpine Village, will be holding his third in a series of rare craft beer tastings with 90% of the proceeds going to benefit the Richstone Family Center in Hawthorne.

As you can see there are a lot of heavy hitters scheduled to appear and if you cannot find a couple dozen brews you have never tried, then my hat is off to you as you obviously have a very extensive craft beer history.

Besides more craft beer than you can shake a stick at, there will be no lines as only 100 tickets will be made available. Tickets are a very reasonable $55 for unlimited pours from this massive list or $75 if you would like a pour of Sam Adam’s Utopias which usually retails for at least $200 a bottle!

There are still tickets left, but do not delay because they are going to go faster now as the day draws closer. Tickets can be purchased online via Brown Paper Tickets at http://chadscellar.bpt.me/. If tickets do not sell out online, they will be available at the door.

Chad’s Beer Cellar Fundraiser will be held Saturday, May 7 from 12:00-4:00 PM at the Steinhaus at Alpine Village in Torrance. The address is 833 W. Torrance Boulevard in Torrance. I hope to see you there. Cheers!
