Another way to get tickets is to comment to this post about what brewery/beer you are the most excited to try. The giveaway ends on Friday at 12pm. I will announce the winner shortly after that and you will have tickets waiting for you at will-call. I use a random number generator to find out who will be the lucky winner!
Beer and Baking 
Ballast point! And if course Hangar 24
A lot of good choices there, but I’ll go with anything from Valiant or the white IPA from El Segundo…
Hangar and bootleggers are always good but want try some new IPAs
Looking forward to Cismontane, love their beers!
I had the Noble Ale Naughty Sauce beer at their brewery. Hope they bring that beer, it was great!
I like Bootleggers, give me the tickets or I’ll give you a knuckle sandwich! lol
April 15th Black Market Brewing is releasing “1945” Berliner Weisse! Can’t wait!!
Hands Down Hangar!
Excited to check out Golden Road. I love all the SD breweries, but I’m interested to see what the folks in LA are doing.
El Segundo but all the LA breweries interest me. Though I’m nearby in SD, I’m not too current on the scene up there.
Bootleggers Knuckle Sandwich!!!
