Coronado’s 4th Annual Beer by the Bay returns to the Ferry Landing

Proceeds Benefit Coronado SAFE and Coronado Surfing Association

Back by popular demand, Islander Ladies Club is hosting Coronado’s only local beer festival for another year of fun and fundraising at the Coronado Ferry Landing. This year’s Beer by the Bay is Saturday, March 9th from 3-6pm, with a special VIP hour from 2-3pm. The event, expanded from previous years, features unlimited beer tastings from more than 20 of Southern California’s best craft brewers and a selection of local home brewers; unlimited wine and champagne tastings from regional wineries; and even a spirits section with local distilleries! And to top things off there will be LIVE yacht rock music by High Tide Society! Plenty of tasty, local fare will be available for purchase, and you’ll find beer pong, a photo booth, raffle prizes, and plenty of fun by the bay!

The coveted VIP experience is back again, graciously sponsored by Donna Salof, with exclusive pours from Coronado Brewing Company, champagne tastes from Wilson Creek Winery, light snacks by Scratch Gourmet, a comfy, covered lounge area, and access to the event at 2PM. Most importantly, Beer by the Bay will benefit Coronado SAFE and Coronado Surfing Association, providing a scholarship for continuing education to a local high school senior in honor of Stan Searfus.

Beer by the Bay sells out each year, so don’t wait…get your tickets now! General admission tickets are $50, VIP tickets are $75 (but only a few remain!) Military members receive $10 off general admission. Designated Drivers receive free admission. Tickets and more information can be found at beerbythebay.com. All guests must be 21 years of age or older to attend (sorry, no children or babies) and must present a valid ID at the door. Unfortunately, no pets are allowed at Beer by the Bay. This is a rain or shine event – no refunds.
