***CONTEST CLOSED***
The Bruery, one of my favorite SoCal breweries, is celebrating its 3rd anniversary. That means it’s been spreading joy and happiness through its tasty brews for only three years. And, this Placentia-based beermaker is going to do up its celebration BIG by combining it with a local craft beer festival. So not only will you get a chance to taste Bruery favorites like Rugbrod and Orchard White, but brews from Black Market Brewing Company, Craftsman, Firestone Walker and Ladyface Ale Companie!
The event takes place at The Phoenix Club in Anaheim and will have food available for purchase as well as cheese and snack stations by The Bruery Provisions.
Tickets: You can either do general admission for $35, which gets you a souvenir glass and 10 4-ounce tasters (additional tasting tickets are $1) or do it up like a balla and get the VIP tickets for $50, which gives you access to the Rare Bruery Beer section and six tastings. Take your pick of rarities like 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, Barrel Fermented Autumn Maple.
I went to the Bruery’s Reserve Initiation Party earlier this year at the Phoenix Club and even though it was packed it was funnn. Made lots of new friends and drank a lot of awesome beer. So I’ve no doubt this is going to be a blast considering there are even more breweries involved.
Just remember to bring a designated driver; it’s only $5 admission for the DD!
And now the giveaway portion of the program!

This looks great. Would love to try some of their limited editions.
I’m interested in trying: “Barrel Fermented Autumn Maple” because it sounds delicious.

This sounds amazing. I’m interested in tasting all the beers, especially the 100% Barrel Aged Cuir. @alohomora1
I can’t wait for the Orchard White! @abbieleerumery

Would love to go.
TWO WORDS: Chocolate Rain. @pasadenaupinya
I’m always fascinated by the flavors and styles of seasonal beers, especially those made for the winter holidays (2 turtle doves looks divine), so I hope they’ll have some available to taste!

m@ recently blogged about..More Beer Labels
I grew up in Placentia but I have yet to visit The Bruery! I’m just beginning to dabble in beer but I’m eager to try the Orchard White, as I really like Belgian-style ales. @Grimlock710
I’m usually an IPA fan so I want to try something on the other side of the spectrum like the Oude Tart.
@taliainla
Im looking forward to the Mischief :)

@UnctuousLA

Even though it’s not on the VIP list, I really want to try Orchard White, since it’s no longer going to be produced!
