Coming up on their third anniversary, it has been a whirlwind three years for The Bruery who in their short time has climbed the ranks to become one of the hottest American craft breweries. On May 29, The Bruery will party it up at The Phoenix Club in Anaheim with an event that will be split into two sessions and with 100% of the proceeds benefitting the Lestonnac Clinic, a clinic that has been providing free medical and dental care in Orange County for over 30 years. Not only will you find The Bruery’s great beers on tap, but they’re turning this into a small beer festival and you’ll find at least 19 local craft breweries pouring. This is an event you will not want to miss, how much better can it get? For those diehard Bruery fans, pretty good if they get a VIP ticket for $15 more which will allow them access to pours of 100% Barrel Aged Cuir, Melange #1, Melange #3, Bottleworks XII, The Wanderer, Black Tuesday, Chocolate Rain, Marrón Acidifié, ISO:FT, Oude Tart, Acer Quercus, Pinotlambicus and Barrel Fermented Autumn Maple .. all of which are quite rare and some of which are incredibly rare.
Coming as a designated driver? No problem. For $5 which will serve as a charitable donation to the Lestonnac Clinic, you can have admission as well and there will be cheese and snack stations to om nom nom on.
Some of the other breweries pouring will be Firestone Walker, Kern River, Ballast Point, Hangar 24, Lady Face Ale Companie and many more.
Seriously, you will not want to miss this and The Bruery is known for throwing some killer anniversary and Reserve Society parties.
