These photos were taken Saturday afternoon at Brouwerij West in San Pedro, where they celebrated their eighth anniversary. The all day long event began with a pancake breakfast and concluded with a concert by Metalachi, the world’s first and only heavy metal mariachi band. There were also a couple food trucks, and the release of their anniversary beer, 8 Times 8 Times.

While I did not arrive for breakfast or stick around for the concert, I did bring my buddy Phil for his first visit to Brouwerij West and we had a couple beers. Considering the early hour and the weather, they had a pretty nice crowd. Knowing Brouwerij West the way I do, I am confident that they had an even larger group by the end of the evening.

I admit that I don’t get out to San Pedro as much as I might like, but it was good to see that Brouwerij West seems to be doing as well as I thought they would eight years ago.

Congratulations to Dave, Brian, and the entire Brouwerij West crew on eight years of great beers. Cheers!
