San Diego International Beer Festival Brings In 100,000 Square Feet Of Beer

If this one has slipped your radar, allow us to kindly inform you that the BIGGEST beer festival on the West Coast is about to go down! And of course, it’s right here, in our hoppy city.

From Friday, June 16th, to Sunday, June 18th, over 200 breweries will fill 100,000 square feet of the Del Mar Fairgrounds with – you guessed it – beer!

Ahh, it sounds like a dream. But it’s so real and we’re so excited about it. And so are the 10,000 people that are expected to attend this year.

But don’t let the large number of attendees daunt you (unless you love a massive beer-drinking party), because there are 5 sessions to help split things up a bit – and give you the one-on-one drinking attention you deserve.

General admission tickets are normally $55-65 per session, but we’ve got discounted tickets ($36/each) for you, here.

Or, step up to a $110 VIP ticket for fancy lounge access and bigger pours.

And here’s a little bonus for everyone: All tickets include a one-day pass to the San Diego County Fair!
