That’s right! My wife and I will be traveling the bay the next two weekends pouring unlimited mead at a couple spectacular events:
🌁 Looking for something to do this Saturday? How about UNLIMITED MEAD and live music in the park right next to the iconic Golden Gate Bridge! Parks4All Brewfest is back at it with another fun day in the park to raise funds for the Golden Gate National Parks Comservancy ( goldengatenps ). If you use the promo code “parksandbeer” you can get $5 off your ticket.
🐱🐶 Come Get SideTrack’d with us next weekend (6/6) at berkeleyhumane ’s 12th annual Pints for Paws! We’re thrilled to be back with unlimited mead pouring at this fun event! Bring your fur baby out and if you don’t have one it’s the perfect place to adopt one! Sales go to supporting the local animal shelter (Berkeley Humane Society) and, from what I hear, does sell out every year so grab them tickets while they are available!
