A spirited toast to all things alcoholic! \u00a0By\u00a0Leslie Dinaberg<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n

As a winemaker friend once told me, “It takes a lot of beer to make good wine.” So I guess that means that bringing the California\u00a0<\/a>Brew Festival here to wine country is long overdue.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

More than\u00a040 breweries will come together to pour hundreds of craft brews from all over the world at the inaugural festival, which takes place on October 7 at Chase Palm Park<\/a>. \u00a0<\/b>Expect t<\/span>housands of beer lovers to pour into Santa Barbara for a day of sun, sea, beer, food and music.\u00a0Guests grab their 16 oz. glass and start sipping just a frisbee throw away from the sparkling Pacific, while One2Tree<\/a>, a\u00a0soulful reggae band,\u00a0keeps the beat.<\/p>\n
