Built on the backs of the O.C. Brewer’s Guild, Beer Week is back! Kicking off the action is the inaugural guild festival, to be held at the gorgeous Fullerton Arboretum on Saturday, June 11. More than 30 O.C. breweries will be on site, pouring specialties, one-offs, and even rarities. Beer-centric, chef-driven restaurants also will be on hand, serving complimentary bites to pair perfectly with the venue, which will have educational talks (with me hosting), nature walks, and bacon socks.

Featured beers at the Guild Festival:
