Battle of the Brewery Bands

Battle of the Brewery Bands is Sacramento's first free, all-day music festival celebrating the people behind our craft beer scene — the brewers, cellarmen, taproom staff, and hop-heads who clock in at your favorite local breweries and then clock out to make music.

Every performing act features at least one member employed by a Sacramento-area brewery. This is their day to trade the brewery floor for the stage, their mash paddle for the mic, their zahm for the guitar – and we think you're going to be surprised by what they've been brewing up.
