Who needs to trek all the way to San Francisco Beer Week when you can enjoy 15 breweries and six gourmet food trucks in the south bay this Saturday?
The 4th Annual Meet the Brewers event is taking place Saturday, Feb. 16 from 12 to 5:00 p.m. at Hermitage Brewing Company, 1627 S 7th St., San Jose.
"It’s a great event, one of my favorites to do," says Campbell Brewing Company Master Brewer Jim Turturici. "It's held in a production facility, a big warehouse and there's anywhere from 15 to 25 breweries and you pay a flat rate and you get to sample as many beers as you want."
Campbell Brewing Company has participated every year but due to an injury, Turturici will not be representing the local brewery in this year's event.
"It's a great event," he says. "It's a beer festival first, not some art and wine festival where there's a 'beer section.' It focuses on just the brewers and the breweries."
The Orchard City will still see some representation at the Saturday with Rock Bottom Brewery. Along with the Pruneyard's brewery, these breweries will also be participating:
- Strike Brewing Company
- Rabbit's Foot Meadery
- Highwater Brewing Company
- Faultline Brewing Company
