Entirely different to the bland beers of the big producers, the micro breweries of the USA turn out brews of character and variety. Many micro breweries are concentrated on the West Coast, and are keen to show what they can do at this popular beer and entertainment festival. Dedicated to celebrating the significance of California, Washington and Oregon in the development of the quality beer industry, the festival achieves its aims by the simple expediency of offering unlimited samples. There is also a blindfold beer competition by qualified judges, a tempting spread of food is on sale, and musical entertainment runs right through the day, courtesy of local bands. The products of over 35 different breweries are here to be tried, and upwards of 2,000 visitors enjoy a great day out in the park.
