Crowd flocks to Firestone Walker Invitational Beer Fest
– The Firestone Walker Invitational Beer Fest was celebrated Saturday for the 7th year in a row. The Paso Robles Event Center became the epicenter of the craft beer world, drawing more than 50 international breweries, (see list of breweries here) and more than 2,000 guests. Many lined up hours before the noon opening.
Once inside, the crowds lined up to sample new beers, many with intense fruit flavors like orange, cherry, grapefruit and even coffee, chocolate. Firestone Walker had their brand new offering of beer called Mother’s Milk, Imperial Milk Porter.
The net proceeds of the event will again benefit Paso Robles Pioneer Day. The proceeds are utilized by the non-profit organization to help fund antique tractor restoration and other local initiatives, including the annual Pioneer Day Parade.
Tickets to the popular fest sold out in just minutes when they went on sale a few months ago. Over a dozen Central Coast restaurants and food purveyors served delicious treats to accompany the beers.
