Join your fellow brewers for a catered lunch at the Best of California Commercial Craft Brew Award Luncheon to recognize the recipients of the Brewery of the Year, Best of Show, and all the accomplished brews that placed in the 2024 competition.

The luncheon begins at 12:00 PM and will take place in the Michelob Ultra Racetrack Clubhouse this year.  Please note that there are specific times for shuttles that will leave the Brewfest load-in area to take everyone to the luncheon. It is a long walk, so you don’t want to miss the shuttle!  Each brewery will receive four (4) complimentary tickets to the luncheon.  You may purchase additional tickets for $35 per person, payable at the luncheon by cash or check.

The Best of California Brewfest will take place on the Concourse at Heart Health Park.  Each brewery will receive four (4) vendor passes and one (1) parking pass (parking is limited, so please arrange to carpool).

The California State Fair is honored to host this event in support of the Friends of the Fair Non-Profit Foundation.  Each year, the Friends of the California State Fair Student Scholarships help our state’s most promising students achieve their goals and realize their dreams by granting scholarships.

We hope to see you on July 19!
