Brewery Line-up Announced for Boulevardia

Boulevardia, the art, music, food and beer festival being hosted by Boulevard this summer, has been making waves this week--first with the announcement of their ticket prices a few of days ago, and then with the week long facebook & twitter rumor mill regarding the various breweries at the event. Well they've finally announced their official brewery lineup, and it's pretty spectacular.

At $75 for the "Taps and Tastes" craft beer & food tasting event, I would expect some pretty amazing breweries. They've definitely delivered. I can honestly say that there isn't a single brewery on the list that I would pass by at the event. They got all the great breweries in the area and a whole bunch that don't even distribute to our fair city. We're especially excited to see Russian River at the festival. Now I won't have to pull a Harold & Kumar just to try their beers. Maybe we can make such a great impression on them that it gets them thinking about distributing here though... And yes, I know some of you are going to be super bummed about the lack of a Bud Light Clamato tent at this one. I feel for you.

So without further ado, I give you the breweries:
