Our always great food vendors; USA Brats, Thaiwaiian Noodles, Monterey Calamari and Chong’s Korean BBQ will be joined this year by Grandma’s BBQ, so the food choices will be a perfect match with the wonderful assortment of beer.
Once again, the amazing Monterey Stinging Jellies, a local Disc Golf club led by Sean Allen of Monterey’s Trailside Café, will have a booth to give demonstrations.
Thus begins the third year of the Monterey Beer Festival at the Monterey Fairgrounds, home to such greats as the Monterey Jazz Festival, Monterey Blues Festival, Monterey County Fair and others. This great one-time per year event, will always occur during early fall. Past Monterey Beer Festivals occurred twice a year in spring and fall. The event organizers decided to really bulk up the selections of great breweries, move to the larger, more appealing Monterey Fairgrounds and pave the way for the biggest, greatest beer festival in this part of the country. So come join the fun. Directions can be found at www.montereycountyfair.com. Hotel accommodations at www.montereyinfo.org/?p=monterey_lodging
