Green Flash Treasure Chest Beer + Food Fest (San Diego)

The annual Treasure Chest Beer + Food Fest is back for a 7th year! Our most anticipated rare beer and food pairing extravaganza will be moving to our Cellar 3 barrel-aging facility in Poway, so that we can offer even more beer, food, and fun. All festival proceeds benefit Susan G Komen, San Diego.

Enjoy exclusive Green Flash, Cellar 3, and Alpine beers (including one-off keg and cask creations), served alongside perfectly paired plates prepared by some of San Diego’s finest chefs. In addition to the delicious beer and food, we’ve got live music, games, Behind-the-Craft demonstrations and plenty of shade! The tropical Hawaiian Luau theme is back by popular demand so grab your best Tiki attire! Hawaiian shirts, grass skirts, and retro-inspired island kitsch apparel is encouraged.
