A lot has been said recently about the wines of summer. For many, though, summer means beer. Lager, amber ale, India pale ale, even a nice, cold porter - hot summer days seem to beg for them. With plenty of hot summer days on the way, there is a Ventura, CA event beer fans will want to attend.
Salute! is a celebration of craft beer and fine foods which will occur Saturday June 19, 2010 at San Buenaventua State Beach. VIP attendees will have the grounds to themselves from 11:00 a.m. to 1:00 p.m., and general admission is from 1:00 to 5:00 p.m. The ticket price - $60/$135 VIP - will buy unlimited tastings of some 300 craft beers and 100 fine food purveyors. All the proceeds will benefit Food Share of Ventura County .
Live music will accompany the festivities and experts in various fields will share their knowledge. "Dr. Bill" Sysak of Stone Brewing Company will offer insights on the incredible beer and ale his outfit produces, while contributions are also planned from Jerret Gilden, the Ojai Beverage Company's chef, as well as Belgian beer experts John Fincioen and Claudine Von Massenhove and the director of "Beer Wars," Anat Baron.
Taste treats, music, experts and a beachside setting should make for an interesting afternoon in Ventura. If you are there for the official kickoff between noon and 1:00 p.m., say hello to DJ Perry from local rock radio station The Octopus 95.9 FM, who is slated to help get the whole thing off to a rockin' start.
