A "Firkin" Spring Beer Fest 2008

Info from Triple Rocks Web site:

Bay Area’s 5th Annual Firkin Gravity Festival begins Saturday, Wednesday, April 5th, 2008 at 11am, and is presented by Triple Rock Brewery & Alehouse in Berkeley, CA.

Mark your calendars. The 5th annual Bay Area Firkin Gravity Festival has just been announced. It will take place beginning at 11:00 a.m. on April 5 at Triple Rock Brewery in Berkeley, California. The cost will be $25, which includes a commemorative glass along with a certain number samples (still to determined) with additional tastings available for a nominal fee. This event has quickly become “the” real ale festival in the Bay Area and I’m sure they’ll have something special lined up for their fifth anniversary. Last year there were two dozen breweries in attendance and I suspect we’ll see even more again this year. See you there.

Festival proceeds will be donated to the Jane Goodall Roots and Shoots Program which teaches the youth about wildlife conservation.

The cost is $25.00 per person (it will be a 21 and over event of course) and the beer patron will be allowed to sample all the different beers (4oz. at a time) for the whole day or until the beers run out. Usually about half of the styles will run out before the end of the afternoon. The doors of Triple Rock will open at 11a.m. with the festival shutting down by 10p.m.
