Came here first time for the 3-year anniversary celebration! The event was held in a small parking lot to the side of the building, and was a collection of tables, tents and chairs scattered about. One end of the lot was anchored by a small-foods booth, and the other by the music "stage" - which was ground level and right there with us! To one side was a trailer from which various deliciousness spewed forth. The event itself was only for a few hours, starting at 11am, and it didn't get really crowded until about 1ish - although people were still coming in an hour before the event was scheduled to end. This location is one of two under the BeerCraft name, and my exposure is only limited to a few beers I tried this day. However, my friends who graciously invited me are quite familiar with this location (and their expanded in building beer menu) and are fans. I started with a surprise (meaning I just said."surprise me" as I don't know beers that well . . . and I was surprised indeed!). First one was Turoc: Revenge of Mosaic. Yikes! Sounds like a superhero movie - and it played well with me! It's a hazy, single hop from Cellarmaker Brewing in SF, and was quite delightful. A fine start. Second one I tasted (courtesy of sharing!) was the Lost Wisdom, also from Cellarmaker. Described as "a tart solera saison" I would nominate that description for understatement of the year - or at least the day. Maybe I don't like lactobacillus, especially in beer, or tartness in general, but when my face unpuckered I knew I would need a beer to kill the taste in my mouth. I settled on the El Duende, from Bottle Logic Brewing in Anaheim. Although I am versant in Spanish, I needed to research the name of this quirky beverage - it means, from what I found out, Leprechaun. Oh right - not much talk of leprechauns in my times in Mexico - an odd name for a beer, as well! Described as an "Horchata-inspired bourbon barrel aged imperial stout (Darkstar November) with vanilla and cinnamon" I knew I was hooked! I love horchata, what can go wrong with a blanket of bourbon cuddling it while aging, and vanilla and cinnamon, two flavorings I've learned to love in Mexico and now appreciate here in the US. All these together? Priceless. The 13.8 ABV doesn't hurt (although it can be a challenge, so be careful!) and it is one of the highest ABVs I have ever tried. The cup arrived about a 1/4 filled, simply because of the kick of the ABV, but the flavor was amazing and one you sipped, almost like a fine cognac, rather that drank like a beer. The flavors bounced back and forth, and at times I swear the vanilla was predominant, then the bourbon would arrive, then the horchata and so forth - it was just wonderful, the best beer for taste I have had in years! If you drink beer for flavor, and have a sweet tooth, you MUST try this. In between the tastings of beers, I also tried the small foods that were available. Well, two out of three items - didn't try the hot dog, but it looked amazing when loaded with toppings! Tried the golden Yukon potato salad, and the deviled eggs. Both were very good, and from what I understand, all were provided by Creekside Bakery in Novato (forgot to take pic of the sign, but that's my memory). The potato salad, for my taste, needed just a bit more salt, but was creamy and well seasoned with herbs. The eggs were good, as well (but not as good as my homemade!) and included a touch of sriracha sauce for a bit of heat, a nice touch I will have to try at home (okay, my eggs can always improve!). The prices were a bit high ($5 for three eggs) but understandable in this setting. The music was the third leg of the experience (beer, food and song!) and the 2 live bands we heard were very good, and enjoyable for a varied audience. Even the DJ between bands had a good, enjoyable selection of music. So 5 stars for the music. The only complaints were: not enough seating, and not enough shade. It was hot - could have been hotter, so not complaining, but standing for an hour or two or three in the sun is not comfortable. And if you want some food, good luck balancing a beer and plate with one hand and eating with the other. Still, it looked like people were enjoying themselves, and isn't that the point of a celebration?! Looking forward to the 4th year celebration!
