So, this Sunday is Mother’s Day, you probably do not want to forget that. The following Sunday is May 19 which is the date of the 11th South Bay Beer & Wine Festival and I am here to suggest you definitely do not want to miss that; in fact a ticket might be the ideal Mother’s Day present, depending on the mom.

I will admit that I might not typically write a second article about an upcoming event, but I have been seeing Facebook updates about the event that actually caused me to text Beer Paper’s Daniel “DFD” Drennon to ask if he was still a beer consultant for the event; it was so good I had to compliment him, and show you who is “on tap” to be pouring. For my ease, they are in alphabetical order.

If 28 craft breweries are not enough for you, you can check out all the wineries, restaurants and other vendors at https://www.sbbeerwinefest.com/participants. Everything but spirits is included in the price of General Admission. VIP gets you in early and access to the spirits.

Proudly presented by the Rotary Clubs of Palos Verdes Peninsula, San Pedro, and South Bay Sunrise, this non-profit event puts 100% of the monies raised go back into helping families in the South Bay and Harbor areas. On top of that, I have a discount code for you.

Now I have to tell you, I have gone to every one of these except the first, and I am positive they have all sold out, probably due to the fact that there are only 600 General Admission tickets sold and 300 VIP tickets; so don’t delay. I have heard tickets are running out.

Since you have read this far, I guess it is only fair that I provide you with the promised Promo Code to help you save some money. If you go to https://www.sbbeerwinefest.com/tickets enter BEERGUY24 and hit APPLY to receive your $10 discount.

I hope to see you there. Cheers!
