Fourteen local breweries will be on display Saturday at the Petaluma River Craft Beer Festival, from 1-6 p.m. on Water Street in downtown Petaluma. There will be food from a variety of area restaurants, and music by The Fossils, joined by some other local favorites.
Tickets are $30 in advance and $40 at the door, including a souvenir glass and 10 tasting tickets. But nobody under 21 is allowed at any price. The event is sponsored by the Petaluma Area Chamber of Commerce and the Rotary Club of the Petaluma Valley.
Breweries pouring for the event include: HenHouse, Petaluma Hills, Lagunitas, St. Florian’s, Headlands, 101 North, Sonoma Springs, Moylans, Woodfour, Marin, Dempsey’s, Baeltane, Carneros, and Bear Republic. The owners of the soon-to-be-opened Three Uncles Brewing announced recently that they had to pull out of the event because they don’t have all their licenses in order yet. We’ll try to get an update on when they plan to open.
UPDATE: The website this morning says tickets are ALL SOLD OUT. So if you snoozed, you loozed. Sorry.
