2020 Firestone Walker Invitational Beer Fest Ticket On-Sale – February 11th
It’s that time of year again as tickets to our favorite beer festival on the West Coast go on sale. Now in its ninth year, the 2020 Firestone Walker Invitational Beer Fest (FWIBF) returns to the Paso Robles Event Center in Paso Robles, California on Saturday, May 30th from Noon – 5:00pm. The limited amount of tickets to this year’s FWIBF go on-sale on Tuesday, February 11th at 9:00am PST.
Each year Firestone Walker Brewing does not disappoint when it hosts this annual gathering of over 50 world class breweries, all invited Matt Brynildson, Firestone Walker’s Brewmaster. Each brewery brings their A game to California’s Central Coast. Expect multiple beers from each of the yet to be named breweries that includes many rare beers alongside a few that you’d expect from the brewery. Alongside these 50+ breweries will be over 20 local restaurants, live music, brewer panels and a full afternoon of fun!
Admission into the festival includes a FWIBF snifter glass, unlimited beer and food samples, access to all of the music and a chance to talk to your favorite brewer as many of them are serving their beers at their booth.
Attendees also get to vote for their favorite brewery and restaurant. In 2019 the People’s Choice Brewery went to The Bruery and the People’s Choice Restaurant went to Fish Gaucho.
