Join us and some of our friends in celebrating our 5 year anniversary. We're taking over Grim Avenue even larger than last year! We'll be joined by the best of San Diego's breweries and even some of our friends from AZ! Besides the breweries, we've got some of SD's finest eateries participating in the celebration. All this, plus two live bands - it's a street party like no other!

General Session tickets include unlimited samples from 19 breweries - 38 different beers! - and free food tasters (4 total) from any of the participating eateries. Full size food portions will be available for purchase.

VIP Session tickets grant you all of the above but most importantly, includes access to a private Collaboration Cask Session held in the MHB tasting room! Participating breweries will put their own twist on MHB's Grazias Vienna Cream Ale, creating a very limited, one-time-only exclusive blend. With MHB crew also dosing up their own special casks, there will be at least 13 casks to enjoy!

ALL Guests will also receive a special commemorative 5-year anniversary Can Glass (like the one pictured below). This glass is not only awesome, but is refillable during the rest of 2015, Monday through Friday, for just $4 on any beer normally served by the pint in the brewery (includes most IPAs, Grazias, Jucundus and others). Just another way that this festival kicks ass.

Proceeds to benefit the San Diego Music Foundation.
