California Craft Beer Summit and Festival

The third annual California Craft Beer Summit and Beer Festival, Sept 7-9 in Sacramento, is the premier event for the craft brewing community across California and the West Coast.

The hands-on expo and educational sessions will connect you with the leaders in brewing -- including Ken Grossman, David Walker and Charlie Papazian -- and provide an opportunity to talk to vendors and providers conducting business in the craft beer industry.

The three-day event ends in a celebration: the largest California craft beer festival. More than 160 breweries pour special releases and hard to find beers from across California in front of the state Capitol on Saturday, Sept. 9.
