Sails & Ales Returns With Epic Marina-Front Beer Bash

San Diego’s most scenic beer festival is back and better than ever! The 4th annual Sails & Ales Beer Fest at Kona Kai Resort brings together stunning waterfront views, local brews, and mouthwatering Mediterranean cuisine for one unforgettable evening.

San Diego's most scenic beer festival

Sips and Bites Under the Stars

Beer enthusiasts can explore over 30 different local breweries, with favorites like Ballast Point, Coronado Brewing Company, and Stone Brewing pouring their finest creations.

Beyond the brews, discover artisanal spirits, wines, and innovative beverages like Mate Maker Kombucha and Newtopia Cyder.

The resort’s culinary team is pulling out all the stops with a Mediterranean feast featuring pomegranate-apricot braised short ribs, fresh-grilled kabobs, and an array of delectable desserts from baklava to mini cannolis.

Pour with a Purpose

This waterfront celebration isn’t just about great beer and food—a portion of proceeds supports the Surfrider Foundation San Diego County, helping protect local beaches and oceans. Between sips, groove to live entertainment while soaking in those picture-perfect marina views.

See you there!

Set sail for Kona Kai Resort (1551 Shelter Island Dr, San Diego) on Friday, November 8, from 5:30 PM to 10 PM. Sails & Ales Beer Fest tickets are $59 per person and include all tastings and food stations.

See you there, San Diego!
