KraftBrew WinterBall

So much fun! Over 40 craft brews (many of them seasonal) were poured at the San Jose Woman’s Club last Saturday evening… where were you?
Highlights of the night included:
+ Dogfish Head «Punkin’» Ale
+ «Tastings» were quite generous. As you checked in and received your tasting glass (aka goblet), guests were given a ticket for a full pour… totally not necessary!
+ Loved the retro fantastic music by local San Jose bands!
+ Grilled Cheese Bandits was in the back parking lot
+ The overall energy was nothing but holiday fun and merriment… just the right amount of people.
Worth the hour-​long Caltrain trip each way, for sure.

I had such a blast, and was so happy that I was able to attend. I keep saying that I’m «not a beer person» but then I go to these events where craft breweries showcase themselves and I find a new appreciation for beer.
I tried a large variety of different brews, and most of the ones that I enjoyed were stouts, but my favorite was the Delirium Christmas brew called Noël. Om nom nom. Holiday beer-​y goodness.
At first I was a little disappointed by the food selections, but when I stumbled outside I found Grilled Cheese Bandits, a food truck, parked outside and my mood was instantly elated. It was like they heard my thoughts and prayers and magically parked themselves outside. Cheesy angels.
I also really enjoyed the band that was playing. They were super upbeat and they played a wide variety of songs so that everyone could enjoy.
All in all, this event was amazing. I hope to get to go to another event like this soon!
