The event will take place from noon until 6pm at Drake's Brewery located at 1933 Davis St., Suite 177, in San Leandro. For a $35 donation, you get unlimited tastings, a souvenir sample glass, T-shirt, beer, and music. For more information, call 510-562-0866 or email drinkdrakes@drinkdrakes.com.
According to its web site, Drake's Brewery was "founded in 1989 as one of the Bay Area's first microbreweries, Drake's Brewing Company is a small, family-owned business dedicated to the art and science of craft brewing." Drake's is one of numerous companies owned by the Rogers Family, which also owns San Francisco Bay Coffee, The Organic Coffee Co., Fairwinds Coffee, Audobon Coffee, Cafe Jerusalem, and East India Tea Co.
