I really appreciated seeing so many local breweries – plus cider companies – all gathered together in San Jose sharing their respective offerings.

The event remains a special showcase for the local beer scene.

This year’s Meet the Brewers, as in past years, was festive and well organized, with lots of good beer and good vibes.

Cheers! Prost! Gunbae!
