9th Annual Meet the Brewers Beer Festival at Hermitage Brewing Company

New Bohemia Brewing Company’s ‘Light My Fire’ Smoked Helles, one of my favorites from last year’s Meet the Brewers beer fest at Hermitage Brewing Company

This year’s Meet the Brewers beer fest – held once again at Hermitage Brewing Company (1627 South 7th St., San Jose) – takes place Sat., Feb. 17 from 1-5pm.

It’s a great opportunity to enjoy the offerings of many local and nearby breweries (and cideries) – from the South Bay, Peninsula, Santa Cruz and Monterey regions – all in one place.
